Stop-motion animations made for Home Between Waves

An original play based on short stories by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

As the space designer, I chose to incorporate projected stop-motion animations as part of the design and storytelling elements. They serve as transitional elements or ambient backdrops to suggest tone, setting, or imaginative moments.
