Today’s frenetic, rapid-cut popular media serve as foil to the intent of Contemplations, a series of animated works exploring patterns and forms inspired by the intricate complexities of nature. This work from the series shows slowly evolving solid and transparent forms. With no set beginning or end, the work allows the viewer to become lost in the complex, organically shifting details and provides an engaging,
calming point of contemplation.
