SYNOPSIS
BLOSSOM is a 5-minute motion graphic that follows the story of a lonesome astronaut who has grown a connection to one of the only living things close to them, a collection of forget-me-nots from the uninhabitable Earth. During their journey, a catalyst that causes them to lose the forget-me-not turns the world upside-down as the astronaut desperately attempts to chase after it.
During their course to retrieve the flower back, they pass through multiple environments and creatures that coincidentally match stages of the astronaut’s current psyche, no less the environment.
Throughout this journey, the astronaut becomes more aware of themselves, their own mental state and truly comes to an understanding of what’s truly going within their own “landscape”.

Advertising Posters
These posters were used to advertise the motion graphic releasing as a whole.
I designed and conceptualised these posters inspired by an Xuan Loc Xuan and the piece "Finding your planet", which featured a series of planets with flora enveloping the planets, and an astronaut orbiting it interacting with the flora.
"Five Stages" Posters
These posters contextualise and provide a breakdown summary of each stage of grief alongside its associated environment and the meanings included within it.
These posters were utilised to emphasise the messages of death, grief and evolution of one's development coping with loss in one form or another
