MAGI Floral animations

Created by students from the Master of Animation, Games and Interactivity at RMIT University, this collection of short animated works responds creatively to the Floribunda exhibition at Bunjil Place Gallery. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant themes, botanical forms, and layered symbolism of the exhibition, each student brings their own visual interpretation to life through animation. This evolving showcase celebrates the convergence of nature, art, and digital storytelling.

This is a frame-by-frame animation that uses abstract geometry to depict the evolving relationship between flowers and the city. It primarily focuses on how urban development encroaches upon the living space of flowers, as well as the resilient vitality that flowers continue to exhibit.
