Pink Represents Connection
Created by: Brandon Woelfel, Courtney Quinn, Morgan Harper Nichols, Rio Arai, Yuka Oishi

“As artists, our work thrives when we're able to authentically connect. Although we're spread out across the globe and create with contrasting mediums, the color pink seems to be the one commonality across all of our work. Embracing that feeling of synergy, we were each inspired to construct a piece of artwork in our own unique styles. By fusing them together in one animation, we hope to show that connection can happen even across two continents.”

The World is a Sphere
Created by: Grace Owen, Joey Yu, Kaori Watanbe, Mohammed Aneez

“Inspired by one of the Adobe MAX 2020 speakers, Ai Weiwei, and a quote by him — ‘The world is a sphere. There is no East or West’ — we brainstormed the idea of the circle, a sphere, a harmonious shape where there are not points, just continuation. Using our own separate skills, we worked on this video that expanded on the circle motif.”

Visualizing the invisible virus as a marine creature and attempting to express ordinary daily scenes as if they were submerged — showing that each home is the safest safe zone. It also contains a message that even if we are in our own homes, we are connected as one…. Wishing everyone a healthy and peaceful life again.”
