THE OFFERING

2010-11

The Offering is a stop-motion-animation made from a series of oil paintings. (displayed right) It is a story set in two contrasting worlds, one of realism and the other of fantasy. These worlds seamlessly dissolve into one another in a surrealist dream that embodies the melancholy, despair, and manic enthusiasm of modern life. It features original music composed by the artist and has been in production since 2009.
