MOM ! I HAD A NIGHTMARE ! by Aeforias Dad

The woman portrait was painted by Bakus very own Stephanie Lamontagne. Together, we surrounded the subject with a colourful abstraction by using pigmented resin. We repeated this process three times to obtain various interpretations. The animation created by JF Lemay and the musical ambiance written by Raphal Favreau brought all these paintings together into one narrative.  

Through this animation, we wanted to illustrate the dreamlike phenomenon of navigating blindly between being awake and asleep. Those nightmares where beginning and end seem to fuse and intertwine. The state of confusion and powerlessness stems from the loss of all bearings, creating the overwhelming impression of being in a never-ending loop. And how the distress of feeling that this state is endless plunges one into great, suffocating fear.
