A collaboration of minds and media
This campaign is about making art accessible to people outside of the formal contexts of galleries or museums. With animation, illustration, and poetry, I collaborated with Aja Monet to bring complex concepts and important messages to life with vibrant impactful imagery.
aja monet
poet, lyricist & activist
I collaborated with the poet Aja Monet to make an illustrated book and animation that explores themes of marginalization, gentrification, neocolonialism, and systematic racism.
women once girls
Women are often pressured to conform to society's vision of femininity, but before they are flooded with other people's ideas of how to be a woman they are free to just live and exist as themselves. This poem illustrates the feeling of being free and uninhibited as a kid.
inner city chants
I wanted to capture the raw emotion within Monet’s work so I hand-drew all the images in procreate. I feel this created a personal feel to the animation and makes the images look like imperfect thoughts forming before the viewer's eyes. The color pallet is dark shades of blue with pops of deep red. The high-contrast colors mirror the colorful imagery in the poem.
