My Imagination
The Inspiration

This animation draws its inspiration from my fascination with the human imagination. I've noticed that it changes over time, which led me to wonder—can imagination ever disappear completely as we age? Out of both curiosity and self-preservation, I began asking people on the streets of London, “What do you imagine?”

This animated documentary features a stylized look inspired by watercolor brushwork. Created primarily in Blender, I explore how the fluid, unpredictable nature of watercolor reflects the emotional undercurrents of the story. The textures bleed, shift, and dissolve—mirroring themes of memory, wonder, and change. The medium itself becomes part of the message, reinforcing the film’s central question: how do we hold onto imagination as we grow older?
The Creation and Interpretation
Some words from the Creator
I began bringing my vision to life
This project was an opportunity to learn both Blender and TVPaint. I created a few 3D elements—like the bench, the cubicles, and the apples—but the majority of the film was made in a primarily 2D style. I brought in my love of mixed media through a watercolor aesthetic, even though the final film is produced entirely digitally.
I didn’t want this animation to be just my interpretation of imagination, so I approached it in a documentary style. Each person I spoke with brought such nuance to their own sense of imagination. I feel incredibly lucky to have created a project inspired by their answers.
At its core, this is an animated documentary about how people interpret imagination. But to me, i also a personal reminder: to keep imagining. For many, imagination is like a muscle that needs to be exercised. My hope is to leave the audience with a sense of childlike wonder—reconnecting with the past while safeguarding the spark of creativity for the future.
