Boys Holding Hands
This project was a collaboration with the renowned
Scottish poet Michael Pedersen, created to promote
his new book, The Cat Prince: & Other Poems. I was
assigned the poem Boys Holding Hands, in which
Pedersen delicately explores the tender emotions
of love and friendship shared between two friends.
In modern patriarchal society, not only do women still
face oppression, but toxic masculinity also impacts boys
and men. Emotions like crying or openly expressing
feelings are often labelled as signs of weakness.
However, the truth is that everyone has the right to
express their emotions and show love freely.
Through my animation, I aimed to visualise the love
and the connection I felt from the poem and share that
sentiment with the audience.
