The Thinker

My first twenty-second stop-frame animation, "The Thinker", in which I tried to visualise the sense of one's "thinking mind". I used the image of Rodin's "The Thinker" and modelled a man posing in the same way as my starting point. As his mind is drawn into his own thinking, it gets trapped in a self-destructive turmoil, which distorts and eventually destroys it's original form. All my work comes from my own experiences that are needing to be transformed and communicated externally.
