What, Why & How.

What, Why & How.

01

Problem

In a time where birthrates are dropping, and there is social pressure to have more children, choosing to lead a life without children is highly stigmatized. Voluntary childlessness is the deliberate decision to lead a life without children, often driven by a desire for personal freedom or autonomy. We wanted to create a think piece about this topic.

02

Solution

To do this, we established a collaborative partnership with the British author Leanne Moden, to use her poem published in the book ‘Un(mother)’ by Growing Poetry.

Our design approach follow the idea "Just as a vase retains beauty and aesthetic value even when empty, so too can a life without children hold inherent worth."

03

Role

In this project, I closely collaborated with Camilla Woldby. Both of us worked on this project from initial concept to final execution.

I worked on ideation, communication, storyboarding, art direction, style framing, animatic, 3D (modeling/ lightning/ texturing/ animations), typography, and compositing.
