This exercise opened my eyes to malleability of colour of time and the way colour, rhythm and movement can interact. There are parallels with the changes in the pain experience during meditation: through attention the nature of pain changes intensity and my reaction to the pain changes from tensing to breathing to distress to calm and so on. Colour and shape transformations could suggest the changeability of the pain experience, helping the viewer to observe the changes in their own pain experience as the meditate.
The animation above is my response to the brief. As I played with the idea of a hand interacting with simple shapes, the interactions started to build. Adding in the colour changes was another useful exercise in iterating through adaptations and changes to feel my way through what works and what doesn't. The shrug doesn't work well enough, but the simple hand shape is surprisingly effective in suggesting its role as protagonist.
