Arben Vllasaliu – Dropping 2/22
“In this series, I wanted to include the feeling of meditation and nature that the animations are supposed to convey to the viewer. I believe that the more positive repetition you include in your daily life, the more healthy habits you will build.”
Arben Vllasaliu is a 3D visual animation artist from Kosovo. Vllasaliu started his career in the arts working for leading companies in Kosovo until eventually embarking on his solo career as a freelance visual and 3D artist. With over 10 years of experience in animation and graphic design, he has worked with well-known international brands such as Ford, Twitter, Burberry, Samsung, American Express, Universal Music Group and Wacom.
REPETITION
In REPETITION, Arben Vllasaliu explores themes of routine and its relation to our health and wellbeing. Looping animated scenes of nature are meant to evoke the feeling of meditation.
“Repetition is therapeutic. Rituals provide structure and something to hold on to, and free us from the tyranny of choices. After all, the world is constantly inviting us to try, buy and taste something new. Everything and everyone is vying for our attention, and the number of possibilities is overwhelming. To live a good life, it would be better to ignore this overabundant supply as much as possible, and do what you’ve always done. To focus our attention on something specific instead of always looking for something new.”
