The Wedding gift





The Venus Flower Basket is an animal.
Taking its materiality, structure, and history as a starting point, this experimental short film explores its cultural significance as a traditional Japanese wedding gift. The film moves between these two contexts, the biological and the symbolic, treating them not as opposites, but as overlapping states.

A fully animated short created primarily with 3D modeling and generative AI.
