STRAY BACK

2D | Independent short film | Charcoal on paper, Technical pen | 3min17 | Academic | 2020

A mother dog reminisces about the painful separation from her puppies while being offered a blanket. 

The artist lowered the viewer's perspective to that of a stray dog, attempting to show how the animal felt in interaction with humans. In this film, the artist used three different aspect ratios to depict the process of emotional change. The drawings also transformed into different styles at moments when the dog is overwhelmed by emotions.
