Where Antlers Bloom

Bachelor of Design 2D animation Character Animation Narrative Sustainability

Visually, Where Antlers Bloom investigates how contrasting shape language and symmetry can express character identity and dynamics. The Hunter's angular geometry and the Deer's organic curves respectively reflect their symbolic roles within the narrative: predator and prey, death and renewal.

Thematically, it examines the concept of the cyclical, interconnected relationship between man and nature. The film reflects on how nature endures, renews, and reclaims - even in the face of human disruption.
