«Contemplation» is a media portal dedicated to self-awareness. With its help, individuals undertake a «symbolic Tibetan pilgrimage,» which allows them to strengthen their self-belief through the principles of Buddhist philosophy. The goal of the Tibetan pilgrimage is to reach a point of complete acceptance and faith.
Posters—the second stage in the pilgrimage.
The key metaphor—chaos transforming into a search.
Series 1 — Typographic
Posters — three touchpoints to truth. At the center of the composition is a key word, which a person found while navigating chaos, and a Chinese character representing one of the values of Buddhism.
All animations were created in After Effects.
Episode 2 — Graphics
The posters reflect the thorny path of self-ununderstanding transforming into a clear goal. Authentic Buddhist attributes are employed: the victory banner, the endless knot, and the lotus. These three attributes represent the three pillars of faith, manifesting in consciousness through association.
For the animation, 3D models were generated using the artificial intelligence tool Tripo based on actual attribute photographs, and were then manually animated into scattering particles in TouchDesigner.
Episode 3 — Promotional
The posters are based on a social theme—the attempt to maintain composure in a stressful situation. The figures are clad in monastic Buddhist robes—they have found zen in the chaos. The media portal allows a person to reach acceptance.
Midjourney, an artificial intelligence, was used to generate the photographs.
