Universe Timebase project

This project explores the themes of time, connection, and the origin of consciousness through a time-based narrative animation. Inspired by the concept of human connections originating from the universe's creation, I focused on presenting abstract visuals that evoke a sense of timelessness and introspection. Originally, the concept began with defined characters, but I decided to move away from fixed forms. Instead, I opted for inorganic shapes and a four-dimensional representation of the universe to depict the emergence of consciousness and human interconnectivity. This shift allowed greater flexibility in visual storytelling, breaking free from the constraints of traditional character design. The animation aims to combine poetic visuals with universal themes. Each element—light, texture, and movement—serves as a metaphor for the flow of time and the fragile, yet profound, connections between individuals. By blending traditional hand-drawn illustrations, photography, and digital animation, the project creates a space where abstract visuals communicate the shared human experience. Furthermore, this work explores not just individual growth but the collective memory shared by humanity. The animation acts as a mirror for the audience, allowing them to reflect on their personal experiences and connections while engaging with broader philosophical themes.
