Sculpture
Part II:
Illustration
Part III:
Animation
In this project, I explored different media to visualize the same subject with the intend to capture its characteristics.
I chose the smooth-coated otter, which is an endangered animal in my country because of habitat loss and water polution.
Smooth-coated otters are friendly, energtic, and fun! I hope I could show these characteristics with the use of form, gesture, and movement.
