Self Portrait

I started to think about myself and write down the mind map and also I think about my name. Japanese people have kanji for our own name and it normally has meaning. Sometimes their parents, grandparents and temples or shrine give us names. I found out my name of kanji represents two flowers, hibiscus mutabilis and lotus flower. When I was a child, my father told me, "if you can't study, that is okay. I hope you can tell flower's name more than that" so I used two flowers and me. I sketch and filmed it. I traced the scenes of movie about 250 sheets by photoshop, illustrated flowers by illustrator and put them to After Effects.
