O MIND
Concept art, Animation
“O Mind is a funky, attractive, and innovative use of animation to explore subjects that could be quite dense if you’re reading or talking about them: consciousness, mind, and cognitive landscapes.”
– Ellen E Jones, Film & TV Journalist
O Mind was my graduation project for my MA in Visual Media, developed as part of my research on cartoons as a catalyst for philosophical thought. Inspired by the incredible adaptability of the human mind, it explores how we construct our perceived reality by assimilating information. The featured animation serves as an introductory theme song for a speculative episodic series following a protagonist who finds herself inside her own mind.
PROCESS: The animation was shaped through an intentional, journal-based comic-making process—using intuition as a tool to explore speculative, fragmented narratives. Given the theme of the mind, this approach allowed subconscious ideas to surface and take form naturally, building a world that feels fluid yet deeply considered.
OUTCOME: Beyond the animation, the project expanded into illustrations, comics, and a series of physical objects—a hand-drawn Rubik’s cube, an origami paper sculpture, a clay sculpture and a Lego structure as an abstract exploration of the mind. Together, these elements formed a collage of fragmented ideas, reflecting the project’s themes across different mediums.
