Artist Statement:

An experimental work depicting a dark, surreal vision of a child’s world. A set of wooden sliding doors is the portal of an aged and decaying facade. Beyond these doors the viewer is allowed a voyeuristic glimpse of the interior space of a traumatic experience.

This work incorporates live action film footage with computer graphics and stop motion animation. The visual interface of sliding doors was modeled and rendered using Maya software. The live action, stop motion, and still imagery were digitally altered and composited using both Softimage DS and Adobe After Effects.
