Passionate About You, October 2020, Animation/video

We all have our ideas, thoughts, and opinions about anything and everything. But with the vast nature of social media and the news it may feel like our one single idea is insignificant. Maybe you think nobody cares. Maybe you are scared of being judged. Whatever it may be, it’s possible you may be holding back. This project serves to highlight a celebration and acknowledgement of everyone’s thoughts, especially those that we feel most ardent about. Through a short survey that I created and shared, I was able to collect the anonymous responses to the questions:

“what are you passionate about?”

and

“how do you implement these passions into your life?”

Given the anonymity of the survey and the thought provoking questions, it was interesting to see how much people were willing to reveal about their ideas and personal life. Simply reaching out and expressing interest was all it took to learn so much about the people in my life. Celebrating individuals for their thoughts and ideas is something I hope we can advocate for more in the future as we reimagine how we interact and communicate with the people around us.
