She/Her - Why did you create this work?
Established in The Hague, the ICC’s mission is to investigate and bring individuals charged with the gravest crimes to trial when the countries involved do not have the commitment or capacity to bring them to justice themselves. This short animation film for the AFP, one of the world’s largest news agencies, clarifies the ICC’s general functioning and is intended for use by its various clients. - How were your illustrations used?
All the illustrations were made by myself, along with art direction and animation. The animated and illustrated format was chosen to represent abstract concepts, evoke scenes that would be unbearable otherwise, and make statistics and numbers more relatable. - What materials and techniques did you use?
I alternated frame-by-frame sequences with keyframe animations to create a poetic atmosphere. Hand-drawn textures add depth to this subdued style. To create these textures, I digitally transformed pencil and paper drawings using Photoshop and looped them in After Effects. - Was this project commissioned?
