BEYOND
The animation is our take on a quote by Damian Marley.
‘Your body’s just a vehicle, transporting the soul.
It’s what’s inside of people, is beauty to behold.’
This thought led us to our story set at an airport, where our protagonist leaves this world and all her material possessions, as well as her superficial identity. As she passes through airport security, she lets go of the following things and reveals her true self, an orb of energy:
Backpack- Emotional baggage and burden
Money- Material possessions and greed
Keys- Home and a sense of belonging
Watch- Time and mortality
ID- Identity and hierarchy in society
Phone- Memories and relationships
Clothes- Vanity and shame
Eyes- Judgment and human conditioning
Skin- Demographic segregation and protection
Flesh and Bones- Tangibility and structure
After letting go of her worldly possessions, she boards a plane with other souls like her.
THE END
