Artist Statement
CHANGE – The Constant, is an animated short following the internal and subjective experiences of different characters undergoing change. Each character is reacting to a change in their lives at different times in relation to its occurrence. Four scenes each signifying a beginning, middle, end and continuation to an instance of change. The city backdrop being portrayed is a reminder of the external world which even though it is not necessarily connected to any one character, it too also changes in its own way. Change happens all around us even if we are not aware of it happening or its significance.
The aim of this short is to showcase different relationships one can have towards change as well as to illustrate the sometimes irregular and seemingly indifferent nature of change.
