Keep Fighting

I’m no stranger to living with a mental illness. Some days can be a battle against your thoughts or emotions, and it takes great effort to do the simplest things. It’s on these days that I most wish someone would hug me and tell me to keep going. That’s what led to this project. I wanted to create a message that could serve as a reminder to keep fighting when it gets hard.

It was fun to stick to a minimalist style for this project and let the expression come from the animation itself. The simple illustrations help create a soothing feeling, instead of overwhelming the audience with visuals and movement.
