Belonging
Project by Kaisa Vidhammer
Belonging aims to create attention around the feelings we have concerning not fitting in. Many of us carry these heavier emotions, and the reasons for this is varied and many. It can be not being smart enough, or for being too smart. It can be not fitting the beauty standard, having a communication style that is too upfront, or being a foreigner. It can be being too much (or too little) for others or a certain type of group. The designer captures these feelings in the use of material, character design, puppetry, and stop-motion animation, where the viewers are encouraged to sit with these feelings and reflect.
