To My Sunflower

An animation that focuses on a young couple going about a seemingly normal, romantic day until strange things begin to happen.

My animated short film explores the idea of living in a loved one’s memories and the self-deception that comes along with that. This story deals with love, loss, the concept of memories, and the power of denial. The sunflowers represent the illusion of normality, which is shown to be unraveling when the petals begin to fall. I created a bright color scheme throughout the video to represent the dreamlike state-of-mind that both characters are in when they are together. Once tragedy separates the two, the world becomes duller. The man has lost his sunshine; his sunflower who made the world so much brighter and more colorful by living in it.
