A video work that reinterprets and archives kanji through stop-motion animation, inspired by the meaning, form, and origins of kanji. The project began with the realization that “mitate” — the act of seeing one thing as another, sparked by the free imagination everyone felt when first learning kanji, such as “This kanji looks like it’s smiling!” or “This radical looks like it can run fast!” — may in fact lie at the heart of kanji itself.
