Deneb | An experimental animated creation myth
I've just finished an independent animated short called DENEB.
It is a symbolic creation myth exploring the movement from unity into separation, from light into matter, and toward transformation.
The imagery draws from different mythological and philosophical traditions (Gnostic cosmology, Edenic symbolism, animist ideas, and psychedelic experiences) but the film is intentionally open to interpretation.
I created this as an attempt to tell a myth through purely visual language, using animation, symbolism and sound rather than dialogue.
I thought this community might appreciate it because many of the ideas behind it overlap with themes often discussed here: consciousness, archetypes, mythology and the nature of reality.
I'd be curious to hear what images, symbols or ideas it evokes for you.
