Garden of Love
Garden of Love is an explorative series of animations and illustrations. The title takes from William Blake's poem, which argues the religious rules placed on people.
Using interviews and research on how people navigate around these rules, this illustration project works as a method of manifesting love allowing people to embrace joy, desire, and community - both natural and important.
Through subtle movements, the illustrations aim to not only evoke feelings of softness and sensitivity but also use nature as a teacher of life lessons.
