"Untitled I Don't Know Anymore" was cobbled together from the remnants of a commissioned project that shriveled up at the onset of the pandemic. The animation originates from the artist's motion capture session where they performed a "wave" dance. The intended visual and motion design was drastically different but as communication on the project evaporated, I was left with a directory of unusable renders. I revisited the project several times, trying to figure out what it would now mean to me... it was a failure but I couldn't let it go. The work then evolved, as I worked in my home studio, to become an illustration of my thoughts and emotions during the pandemic. The "wave" dance came do be a navigation of information, emotion, miscommunication, and reaching out from home to create some sort of connection.
