Although created for a University module, this project is one I have been planning and developing for years. Often I use animation as a means of therapy, writing my thoughts down in the form of a poem and then animating to express the feelings that words can't quite convey.
This particular poem was written reflecting on my experience being admitted to a psychiatric hospital as a teenager. The animation covers the first half of the poem, where I explore the feelings I had when I first arrived. I'm planning on re-creating the project at my own pace, covering the entire poem.
