"Who Am I?"

Here is the final for "Who Am I?":



This whiteboard animation is also part of the identities "box" project and comes up when the user clicks the easel in the suitcase. The easel represents my love of art and since the aim of the identities module is to show who you are, I decided to make a surreal piece surrounding the question "who am I".

I approached this by writing the question and answering it through drawing symbols which represent myself. These symbols include, the peace and yin yang symbols, the OM symbol, a tree, a mushroom, waves, the earth, musical notes, a heart, and finally a stick figure representation of myself. These sybols represent peace and balance, spirituality, nature, music, and love. All of these themes are focused around finding one's self.

The music I chose with this piece is the song "Lightning" by Skream. The genre of this music is dubstep. The tone of the music is mellow but has a psychedelic feel to it. I felt this was best suited to the surreal nature of this piece.

After I came up with the idea I looked for some surreal art containing symbols which merge into other symbols. Below is "Roots of Emotion", my inspiration for this work:

This piece represents love and roots. The tree might represent nature while the emphasis on the roots combined with the heart suggest a deeper meaning.
