Animation (MA)

10039494@network.rca.ac.uk

This short animation is the second part of The Twins, continuing the plot from the first. Inspired by my family of origin, it tells the story of my sister and me, the twins separated as children by our parents. Now familiar strangers, this childhood trauma made me long for us to depend on each other. Last year, I lost my most important family member, prompting me to reflect on the intimacy I've always craved. I wanted to express that intimate relationships in a family are blood ties and bonds. These relationships, driven by desire, are fluid and unconstrained.

About

My main genre is dark horror, erotic and dystopian—surrealism, with a personal and independent style. I specialise in hand drawn 2D animation, illustration, and stop motion animation.

My creative background is often combined with personal experience and emotional expression. Personal and intimate topics, such as sexuality, memory and intimacy, as well as the family of origin, have always been my topics of creation and discussion. I believe that exhibition is also a very important part of the presentation of my work, so I usually build scenes or installations for my exhibitions according to different themes.

My painting style is very much in contrast to my own personality, but I like black very much, I love fashion, I love everything special.
