This piece centers on the common theme of celebration and how different cultures embrace the holidays around the world. Using light as the shared element, the viewer can associate what they’re seeing to their own culture as the piece progresses from one celebration to another.

This was the first time I did a full piece in cell animation. One of the most gratifying aspects in working on this project was how much of myself I was able to incorporate to the final product. It was a lot of work, but I’m really happy with the way it turned out.
