The girl who sang to the whales

This unique animation unfolds through nine meticulously crafted diorama boxes, each with its own moving mechanism, narrating the story of a childhood adventure with whales. Each diorama functions like a small storytelling automaton, using handcrafted, hand-painted watercolor elements to blend imagination with reality. As the animation progresses, it captures moments of wonder, joy, and connection, bringing viewers into an immersive journey where nature’s magic meets the boundless creativity of childhood. Inspired by a beloved personal memory, this project became more than an animation; it became a heartfelt journey back in time. Each scene invites viewers to experience the awe of an unforgettable childhood encounter with whales, as if they were right there in the boat, marveling at the whales' grace and intelligence.
