Whirlwind

Whirlwind is a hand-drawn animation consisting of over 700 ink drawings, rendered during the early months of the global pandemic. The film’s visuals were elicited by unfolding events. The process of drawing this film, frame by frame, coincided with a unique sense of time and space that emerged during the pandemic. The unique flow of time experienced during the first half of 2020 provided a new type of lived experience—proper for reflection through hand-crafted animation.
