The illustration series 'Solitude' was made for the motion graphics preface of the short film 'Reflect' directed by Nirenjan. These illustrations depict the life of the protagonist in the film, who is a 20-year-old introverted and anti-social boy.
In the presence of others, he tends to gravitate towards the solace of music rather than engaging in social interactions.
He opts to walk alone in silence rather than joining noisy groups of people.
He chooses to sit alone in class and gaze out the window rather than participating in the lively conversations and activities.
He prefers dining solo, fully immersed in his own thoughts and avoiding any interruptions from others.
He enjoys staying indoors, reading books in peace, rather than going out and playing with others.
Even in elevators, he avoids making eye contact and attracting attention from others.
Through these visual cues, the motion graphics encapsulate his isolated existence, highlighting his discomfort amidst social settings and his preference for solitude. This portrayal sets the stage for the character's introspective journey, foreshadowing themes of loneliness and inner conflict within the narrative.
"In solitude, where we are least alone." - Lord Byron
