Holiday Advent Calendar 2018

This collection presents a unique artistic endeavor, originally shared across social media in the form of daily animated vignettes leading up to Christmas. The series follows Asami Ike’s creative journey as she crafts twelve animated shorts, each designed to evoke the spirit of the holiday season. The animation style is gentle and introspective, exploring themes of anticipation and the subtle beauty found in everyday moments. A notable aspect of the project involves incorporating live-action elements within a portion of the countdown, offering a distinct shift in visual texture. Presented as a compiled YouTube video, the work invites viewers to experience a gradual build-up to Christmas through a blend of animation and found footage, fostering a quiet sense of reflection and seasonal warmth.
