"I truly wanted the lyrics of this song to guide me through the process of creating this animation. When I first heard the song, my immediate interpretation of the line about being tired of this body as a longing to be free from the weight of living in a human flesh. The song spoke to me in a way that allowed me to come up with a concept for an animation quite quickly.

 

Early on, I knew that I wanted to utilize both cool and warm hues to show visually the distinction between emptiness and freedom. I also used doves and moths to show how she wants to be free and fly away, without the weight of a body. In the end, the character allows nature to overtake and free her."
