My Role: Photographer, Editor, Animator
Tools:
Sony Alpha 7 iv, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate
First iteration: Red Light
To me, the biggest challenge is the distance between partners and having independent life overcomes the thought of each other. There are days I get overwhelmed by work so I don't think about my partner, and there are days I'm feeling down and all I think about is their presence.I see the night scene of the city as a representation of the canvas of my mind, and the red lights in each image represents the thought of my partner. The amount of red light fluctuates over time, but it never disappears.








Second iteration: Animated
After photographing the Seattle nights, I decided to explore in 2D animation and Adobe Animate CC as another approach to express my experience.
I wanted to capture the trapped feeling of my emotions and the struggle to express/connect with my partner. Being physically far could translate to emotionally distant. I find myself struggling to communicate and understand my partner and, it's frustrating. Made with Adobe Animate.

Far Feelings
This animation is created to represent the sensation of reuniting. Made with Adobe Animate.
