We’re delighted to share Opallios, an animation made by Éloïse Jenninger (@motiongraphics_ej) for MEDUSA. Éloïse was initially inspired by classical sculpture, drawing on the Greek roots of our name. She describes the work as ‘about genders, queerness, our personal tastes versus who we are forced to be by societal pressures, based on nothing but our sex assigned at birth’. In our discussion, she notes the colours that grow from inside the body, representing an inner self that ‘always comes crawling back, although we evolve’. In contrast, the splashes of paint external to the figure represent what others want us to be, yet they ‘always wash off’. To find out more about Éloïse’s piece, and to read our interpretations, check out the article now live on our website (link in bio). Thank you to Éloïse for creating such a thoughtful piece – make sure you give her a follow @motiongraphics_ej.
