cosmopolite

📖 SYNOPSIS

"Cosmopolite" is a graduate work from Rina Okada, a student at Tokyo University of the Arts. The animation centers on the act of examining minerals and natural stones. The core premise involves holding these objects up to the sunlight and carefully observing their interaction with light. The viewer is invited to search for the specific shapes where light penetrates the stone and the resulting shadows cast. The animation emphasizes the gradual discovery of form, as the light reveals the unique characteristics of each mineral. The work appears to be a contemplative exploration of light, shadow, and the inherent beauty found within the natural world, focusing on the slow unveiling of shapes.
