Artist Statement:

This is a visual video poem touching upon the temporary nature of life. The sadness that is one and the same with the beauty all around us, from the blur of the freeway to the pear upon the plate. The smell of a certain type of air pollution still brings back poignant memories from childhood.

I have combined live-action imagery taken with a consumer-grade digital video camera (I enjoyed the low-tech look) with particle animation done in Maya, digital paintings, scanned oil paintings, and 2D animations done in Macromedia flash. This video is still in progress. I will continue to improve upon it

Special thanks to John Adamczyk for the soundtrack.
