Strainfall

Strainfall is a stop-motion animation exploring the impact of accumulated stress on the mind. Using random paper cut outs and a makeshift setup, the piece embraces an unpolished, raw aesthetic that mirrors the instability of the subject matter. Through the unsettling imagery of a man practicing his aim on a tied pig, it visualizes how pressure distorts perception and leads to malfunction. Inspired by a personal experience, this animation conveys the fragility of mental resilience under strain.
