Dragonfly

Dragonfly is a hand-painted watercolor animation about a dragonfly who gets captured and packaged in a factory. The end product of the dragonfly is a supplement that enhances the vibrancy of the looks of humans. By showing the inner workings of how products are created, I hope to reveal to us the how nature and labor is exploited by modern consumption and the human touch.
