The garden (2015)

Having a fascination with the contradiction between dead and alive, animate and inanimate the Garden short animation was conducted. I made a puppet flower using cloth and wire and took it to different urban areas of Tehran.

The animation had a narrative of the puppet facing a dilemma of having different attributes from other flowers but having a root in the soil. Textures like soil, cloth and natural environment, added a level of narration to the; the viewer’s haptic memory was evoked by textures and could sympathies easier with the flower character. Unfortunately, the animation was not completed and a 30-second version of the final animation was made.
