Fishing With Popo

As she visits her grandmother's grave, a girl remembers the funeral, her grandmother's vivid storytelling and a curious dream that she had of her grandmother in her after-life.
Artist's Statement
In this project, I want to explore the process of changing states of mind and memories through animation. The concept is to reproduce images of a video frame by frame interceded by paintings, inserts of texts and sounds. During the production process, I found that animation is a powerful method as it reviews the past in a more emotion-driven and intimate way which fills the gaps that live-action/photographic media rarely achieve.
