“Claustrophobia” is a naive world in which characters go about their ordinary daily lives, confined to spaces that are deliberately very small.
The project began as a stylistic exercise: to create compositions in which the characters and various elements of the scene are crammed as tightly as possible into a square format, in order to convey a sense of closeness and confinement.
After creating nine illustrations, I decided to expand on the experiment by animating each one. I then assembled the different scenes and added some SFX to create this roughly 30-second clip.

Claustrophobia c’est un univers naïf dans lequel des personnages vivent des scènes banales du quotidien, enfermés dans des espaces volontairement très restreints.
Le projet est né d’un exercice de style : créer des compositions dans lesquelles les sujets et les différents éléments de la scène sont regroupés au plus étroit dans un format carré, afin de donner une sensation de proximité et de contrainte.
Après avoir réalisé neuf illustrations, j’ai décidé de prolonger l’expérience en animant chacune d’elles. J’ai ensuite assemblé les différentes scènes et ajouté un habillage sonore pour créer ce clip d'une trentaine secondes.
