Day and night, beginning and end, life and death -creation is made of opposites.
- Bhajju Shyam, Gita Wolf
The process of creation never truly ends; it is a continuous cycle. We were all brought into existence to live lives of creation. Though we come from the same source, each of us is unique and different. As creators ourselves, we bring forth new life, but humans are the most fortunate of all living beings—we possess the extraordinary ability to create music, art, and stories.
Nature, the most awe-inspiring and enigmatic force, remains our greatest source of creative inspiration.
No one truly knows who or what created the universe or how it all began. Yet, across diverse individuals, communities, and regions, we each have our own stories about the creator and the origins of creation.
To exist is to create, and all living things must, in time, create and perish.
Characters explorations for the film
For the visual treatment, I experimented with digital and traditional media like watercolors, ink, charcoal, oil pastels, printmaking & collage to develop the visuals for the film.
Later, I decided to develop the visuals with print making & collage. I made the stamps by carving foam sheets with a ball point pen to create patterns for the background. The foam sheets helped in creating a nice texture.
