SENTIENCE
BY ZÜMRA DADANLARBRIEF
Sentience is an animated film project which aims to narrate a surrealistic story about Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) in an abstract world and imagery. GAD may not be noticed by people who have it and this can affect their daily lives and tasks. They may experience a lot of uncomfortable physical sensations and physical health problems. They may feel 'trapped' by their thoughts and feelings without them knowing what to do.
RESEARCH
Since I have dealt with anxiety throughout my whole life, I've decided to share my personal experience and shed a light on this topic. By sharing my experience, I aim to reach out to people who are going through anxiety and people who doesn't know what anxiety feels like. As someone who has and still is dealing with anxiety, I have taken notes of some remarkable feelings. I also have read several papers about anxiety to learn about it in scientific and medical terms..
VIEW THE MOODBOARDFUNCTION
My goal is to show people that anxiety isn't something that goes away; it is something you learn how to control. One can understand that anxiety is not something that will bring you down. Anxiety is a phenomenon you can learn how to deal with. So, I hope my animation helps people realize that they can control their anxiety and they could relate to my way of expressing how I feel when I get anxious. So, they can relate and know they are not lonely because people feel and experience anxiety in many different shapes and forms.
