ANIMATION A DAY 2017
(February Compilation)

A Small Universe
Maya (3D Animation)
In the Taoist school of thought, the human body is a small universe. Not in terms of material but in the sense that there are inconceivably small elements of matter and molecules in the body, and yet one still cannot detect the most microscopic particle further down the line. This is comparable to the vast scope of the universe.
I sought to conceptualize and abstract this theory through 3D animation and procedural animation. Enjoy the journey!
