2010 Spring - Studio

Mini-thesis - Final project for studio

"We must always be thankful to our enemies
as they teach us that the smiling face of the world
is nothing but a theatre mask!"
-Mehmet Murat ildan, Turkish playwright and novelist

Based on observations on social interaction, depending on the surrounding environment, it is common to disguise one self in order to achieve certain goals. Universally people are accustomed to being polite when introduced to a stranger or superior, they filter what to say and how they act. The issue I want to touch upon is the idea of being fake, how people put on different masks for different situations. By sharing a perspective through media consisting 2D narrative animation, this project is intended for the audience to reflect upon their lives and relate by provoking them to see if they do the same things as the character portrayed.
