What I did
• Production

• Animation
'Perspectivas Livres' is a collection of animated interpretations about the idea of freedom, that word we carry with us, though rarely in the same way.
Each frame begins with a question: how do you see freedom?
The answers come through drawings, photographs and paintings. Glimpses of voices that cross continents and generations, showing how freedom is felt, imagined and portrayed.
From these contributions, new animations emerge. Not to explain, but to respond and listen visually.
What connects them is not a shared definition, but the quiet influence each person has had on the way I see the world.
The project doesn’t seek to define freedom. It’s about what happens when two perceptions meet and create something new. Not inherently better, not necessarily worse. Just new. And that might be the beauty of something that’s truly free.
An ongoing personal project, currently finalizing animations.
