Anna Huijun Wang follows an identity from nothing to everything and back in OROBORO. Born as a single eye in cel animation, the character twists and morphs into a world of 2D Motion Design.
She gains limbs and geometry as the information around her accelerates. Each new dimension brings more of the world into her form, moving the film from hand-drawn animation through flat graphics and into 3D.
Immersed in social media and products, she becomes overwhelmed by the speed of the modern world. She begins to glitch and shed her dimensions, retracing her transformation toward the eye she began as.
For Wang, the changing mediums are states of being. The character’s journey gives shape to the weight of accumulating an identity and the act of letting it go. Created as her thesis film at USC’s Hench Division of Animation & Digital Arts, OROBORO features design by Matthew Sorgie and music and sound by Penrose Audio.
