Tsukiyo to Opal

While nearly asleep with closed eyes, a sense of awareness transcends time and space, shifting into various forms of life. The self merges with the universe, and the universe merges with the self until sleep takes over. This piece serves as a prayer for the presence of heart and soul during an awakening. It is the 2015 graduation project of ShiShi Yamazaki from the Department of Animation at the Graduate School of Film and New Media, Tokyo University of the Arts.
