Animal Communication Therapy


/.Animated GIF /.Creative Direction 

Isn’t it interesting that sometimes we like to use cute animal pictures to express our feelings. Expressing our true feelings is a hard thing to do indeed, since we are so distracted all the time that we neglect our own bodies, thou ghts, emotions and lose contact with ourselves. So I thought, how about communicating in a more simple and straightforward way, like animals? Using our bodies as the medium and really amplify those emotions and digest them through motions
I created this series of 7 GIFs, each imitating what animals would do to communicate with each other, or at least what we think they were communicating, sort of an anthropomorphism in reverse method. Yeah they do look absurd and funny in a way, but wasn’t it liberating? Utilising all parts of the body does help to better express those feelings, from which I hope to gain a better understanding of my emotions, really taking time to examine them instead of seeking for a getaway, learn to be vulnerable and generate compassion for ourselves.
