This work expresses the emotions felt when you become trapped in an endless loop of helpless anger. It is a loop animation, designed so that on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, it can be watched in an endless cycle. I created it by drawing the animation frame by frame in Photoshop, and then partially using Kaiber AI to give it a more realistic style and alter the textures. The fact that AI produced visuals that were unexpected, or even more than I had anticipated, aligns with the theme of the work: losing control of oneself through anger and becoming someone unexpected.

This work was created for submission to the LUMINE meets ART AWARD. It won a prize in the digital signage category. It is a loop animation of a girl who keeps changing her fashion and mood.

We aimed to create a visual style that blends mechanical animation, making full use of patterns, with traditional hand-drawn animation. Even without facial expressions, a person’s fashion can convey emotion and energy. Clothes chosen by a person of their own free will are not mere decorations; they become part of the body, and there is a sense in which the boundary between fashion and the person becomes increasingly blurred. Fashion, including clothing, accessories, cosmetic surgery, and makeup, seems to lose its boundary with the wearer’s body and mind the more they enjoy wearing it, until it feels like they become that person themselves. We tried to express these ideas through animation.

Behind every delicious meal lies the lives and lifetimes of many animals, and even so, meat is delicious. Eating delicious food is happiness, and that too is part of our lives and of living itself.
