Poject Ecopolis(excerpt), stop-motion animation, paint on canvas, 11'30"

Commissioned by The High Line

This project is a compilation of four stop-motion short films, created in collaboration with the High Line and three other High Line Network partners—Englewood Agro-Eco District (Chicago, IL), Buffalo Bayou (Houston, TX), and Waterfront Park (Seattle, WA). I visited each city's organization and led an animation workshop with its local community. The shorts aim to create a portrait of the city based on individual knowledge and collective imagination, underscoring the power of storytelling and prompting reflection on the intricate relationship between people, urban infrastructure, and ecology.
