The (W)hole

A Thesis Animation from SVA MFA CA 2023

Concept

The (W)hole is a 2D animated film based on the experience of BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and the self-healing process. This film uses stylized hand-drawn animation, combined with motion graphics and 3d modeling. It is about a girl who finds a hole in her body and embarks on the journey of filling it. On this journey, she faces her distorted self-image and fights with her inner monsters. Finally, she sees that the answer cannot be found on the outside, but it is a reconciliation deep inside.
