PROJECT DETAILS

Digital Animation  |  01:00  |  Silent  |  2026

Timed for the 50th anniversary of Brian De Palma’s horror masterpiece, Carrie, this silent minimalist animation tracks an isolated graphic chair pushed to the brink of earthly rage, only for a timeline rewind to transfigure the architecture of exclusion into a sacred path of divine alignment.

"Carrie On" is a disciplined, time-based moving image work that translates the structural violence of rejection and isolation into rigid spatial boundaries. Designed as a language-free, globally accessible narrative, the project entirely bypasses text and subtitles. It relies strictly on precise manual vector choreography, structural timing, and geometric placement to convey intense psychological tension. This subverts the phrase "carry on" into a deeply personal visual manifesto of letting go and letting God.

The title serves as a conceptual double entendre. It nods directly to cinematic history while examining the duality of human response to trauma, contrasting the destructive, cyclical nature of earthly rage with the liberating, transformative power of divine alignment, showing that true victory lies in being entirely released from the hold of one's adversaries.

A protagonist chair attempting to integrate into a collective is repeatedly met with swift spatial rejection, enforced by vertical lines that partition the screen. This systemic alienation plunges the protagonist into a deep visual abyss, where it is subjected to a violent downpour of crimson texturing, serving as a direct thematic nod to cinema history.
