Context

This piece was created as a visual interpretation of Lord of the Flies. The project used illustration and motion to build tension, atmosphere, and a sense of danger around the story’s themes.

What This Shows

This project shows illustration, visual storytelling, mood, composition, texture, and the ability to create motion from a designed visual world. It also shows how character, scale, color, and movement can work together to create a strong narrative moment.

Connection to Current Work

This connects to my current work through visual direction, image systems, and AI-assisted motion workflows. The same thinking behind this piece, building a mood, creating a world, and using motion to guide attention, now informs how I approach generated visuals, animated portfolio elements, and system-based visual storytelling.
