A Stop Motion Animation

I created a stop-motion video based on the word "lachrymose," which means tearful or sorrowful. The video explores the theme of depression and the complex range of emotions humans experience. I used five colours—red, green, blue, yellow, and pink—not only to symbolize different emotional states but also to reflect how individuals with depression often mask their symptoms. Drawing from personal observation, I aimed to portray the contrast between outward appearances and internal struggles, highlighting how those suffering may seem fine on the surface while silently battling overwhelming thoughts. This project allowed me to express emotional depth through visual storytelling and experiment with symbolism in a time-based medium.
