There is no undo button in handcraft. Unlike the magical ‘command + Z’
of digital tools, once something is created by hand, there will always
be some mark, scratch, or dent left behind, signifying your presence.
This idea fascinates me, especially in considering how to integrate
analog materials and processes into both static and motion graphic
design. There is something uniquely powerful about the originality of
handmade work and how no one could ever replicate it exactly—it is
entirely yours. Similarly, I’m captivated by the meticulous care that goes
into frame-by-frame animation, where each frame is considered with
intention.
Hand to Hand reflects both the tactile nature of creation and
the deeper interconnected relationships between the designer, the work,
and the audience that analog methods reveal. I begin by experimenting
with materiality, exploring how physical elements can conceptually
resonate with the subject and enhance audience engagement. From
there, I consider how these static art forms can be digitally transformed
into time-based narratives, offering a more dynamic and interactive
experience for the viewer.
By blending analog with digital through
motion, I aim to create new design possibilities. My goal is to foster a
genuine connection with the audience, inspiring a deeper appreciation
for analog techniques where the journey of creation is as meaningful
as the final product. Imperfections are not to be fixed but celebrated.
Ultimately, I want to explore how analog methods can enhance design,
engaging the designer and the audience.
