Thesis Title:
Their Circumstances It is astonishing that I am able to enrich my experience and cognizance through both my normal waking awareness and my daydreams. In my thesis, I will explore my inner world with surrealistic flights of fancy abound, relating to my mundane days through researching dream theories and art works, and observing my subconscious night journeying. Who knows if Plympton also acquired his inspiration from his dreams? The form of my project is a 2-D animation with different styles of illustrations, being animated by After Effects software.
