About the Project
Created as part of the "Hoping Against Hope" exhibition hosted by Monash University Library, this animation embodies the resilient spirit deeply ingrained in Ukrainian culture.
Drawing inspiration from the poignant poem by Ukrainian poet Serhiy Zhadan, titled "Like Snails, People Wait for Evening," the animation visually interprets the essence of the entire poem.
2D Animation
Challenge
One of the primary challenges encountered during the production of the animation revolved around ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of the representation of Ukrainian culture. This involved meticulous attention to detail in the selection of colours, patterns, and scene designs to ensure they authentically reflected Ukrainian cultural elements rather than inadvertently drawing from other cultural contexts.
Approach
The process of production involved consultation with experts in Ukrainian culture and feedback from individuals familiar with the nuances of Ukrainian visual identity.
By incorporating their insights and expertise, the animation was able to capture the essence of Ukrainian culture with integrity and precision.
