TRAUMA

The spark of the lighter represents the trigger of a traumatic event which creates a spider that stands for the trauma itself. The video stop motion shows the creation of a red spiderweb around a lighter. The scene will show multiple sparkles which will make the creation of the spiderweb faster towards the end of the video. The last sequence of the video aims to show the re-enactment of the memories related to the traumatic event which repeats itself in our minds. The video is accompanied by a menacing sound of a violin often used in the animations of East European countries to indicate a malignant character. This work doesn’t only show the creation of a trauma, but it also focuses on making people more aware of the importance to comprehend and to be more emphatic towards any issues caused by trauma. Furthermore, the animation proposes the reflection on our actions towards others to help them solve their traumatic experiences.
