PROJECT DETAILS

Digital Animation with Narration  |  03:00  |  2025–2026

Conceptual Background

Inspired by a true story, the work emerged from a concentrated two-hour window of creative output following the loss of a loved one. The artist utilizes generative AI to translate a deeply personal journey of grief into a colorful, Pixar-style narrative. By confronting sorrow through the unexpected lens of seasonal folklore, the project explores how horror cinema and a year-round devotion to Halloween can function as unconventional spaces for emotional recovery. This 2026 edit refines the original 2025 footage to establish a lasting meditation on finding solace within the eerie.

Artwork Synopsis

The film opens with the stark, textual declaration that the upcoming narrative is inspired by a true story before transitioning into a vibrant, animated landscape. Melding digital narration with stylized character design, the visual timeline charts the protagonist's emotional migration from profound isolation into a comforting, perpetual autumn. Everyday spaces are systematically populated by friendly, Halloween-adjacent motifs, transforming traditional symbols of dread into anchors of emotional security. The resulting narrative strips away the grim conventions of the horror genre to reveal a heartfelt study on memory, celebration, and non-traditional healing.
