Animated a piece for the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, inspired by the Biblioburro, a donkey library bringing books to rural Colombia. I wanted the piece to capture the warmth, dedication, and hope behind this story. I handled illustration in Illustrator and Photoshop, animation in After Effects, and art direction.

@Alexia Barakou I like the vibrant soundscape in the start with birds, and sounds like jungle. It heightens the storytelling for me.

@Alexia Barakou This is most beautiful thing I've seen this year, truly! Beautifully executed motion project, and the story... When you truly love a project, and connects with it, the more it will show in your final work and attention to detail.
