Abstract:
"This thesis would consist of psychological explorations of unwanted or unhealthy
emotions through the use of dynamic visual metaphors. These emotions are those
that one would go through when they are at their lowest point in life. However, This
thesis is not inventing a new technique in story telling but is simply a study of using
shapes, objects, color and ambiguous movements to depict a certain emotion that
the scenario portrays. This study would push the creative mind to explore different
dimensions of storytelling."
