Beyond divisions explores the differences between on-screen and off-screen. By using a portrait phone size as the animation format, audiences are called to focus on the opposing themes of connection and isolation. Textural collage elements build beyond the creative phone size format and are combined with personal emotional human aspects.
The animation was submitted in response to Moving pictures Category 2: Act together, with audio by Vivek Murthy.
