Inspired by natural migratory patterns, this vertical short is an abstract meditation on my family's diasporic movements. It explores a flocking movement within a vertical frame – traveling particles through various cities identified by their coordinates.
Typography with a strong vertical emphasis is revealed through the upwardly travelling particle system. Personal field recordings of a subway oud player provide a crescendoing soundscape.
I was one of fifteen artists, photographers, illustrators, animators and directors from across the globe invited to produce a 15-second vertical video of animation for Facebook’s Creative Shop.
