_paperspace x B23_17

A collaborative piece manifested by _paperspace and B23_17, a multi-disciplinary creative & designer.

Titled 'Limerence' - this piece depicts the state of mind which results from a strong desire for relationship and reciprocation from someone (or something). This intensity can be romantic or non-romantic; but it typically involves intrusive thoughts, fueled by strong desire.

The black in the eyes represents intense desire and as the video progresses, the color tone gets warmer, signifying the progression of this intensity.

In the later part of the animation, four key frames flicker and oscillate between one another, in a seemingly chaotic fashion. This represents the distortion in one's mind that occurs in this state.

As the boundaries blur between art & technology, the notion of desire gets redefined. A want becomes a need - no matter the cost, inevitably changing the way we think and live.
