My lost connection
In "My Lost Connections," I combine visual techniques from my B.A. in painting and M.A. and M.F.A. in concept art and animation, blending 2D and 3D styles. As an Iranian student who moved to the USA with a single visa—preventing my return to Iran until I obtain a green card—I faced complex challenges. This significant decision inspired me to create an experimental animation that reflects my concerns and includes the voices of other Iranian students who share similar experiences.
