Tendre

tendre is an animation that personifies the wander through life — imagining the social personas we wear as masked figures, the challenges we navigate as creatures in relationship with the world around us, and the cycles we repeat until they break as the movement of the body. The path forward is always shifting, but if we slow down we can notice and appreciate the details in the flickers of our present.

Soft Body

Soft Body is a meditation on mediated movement and mutable form. A 3D-rendered figure, animated through motion capture and processed via image-to-image translation, dances and tumbles through the ambient architecture of the animation software interface. Rather than existing in any single frame, the body emerges through motion: disoriented yet graceful, legible only in accumulation. The software’s prescriptive structure dissolves into a blur, revealing the slippage between data and embodiment, control and surrender.
