Moving Objects

Moving Objects is a system of animated studies exploring how form and behaviour define meaning. By exaggerating, reassigning, or detaching motion from its familiar hosts, the project questions how we read function, material, and intention.

By stretching familiar gestures to their limits, this set of animations isolates motion from its original function. What remains is not the object itself, but the rhythm it once carried—amplified into a language of its own.



Even when the object disappears, its movement remains—and that movement alone is often enough for recognition. These animations question our assumptions about visual identity: perhaps we don’t just recognize things by how they look, but by how they behave.







In this animation series, I challenge the logic of naming: What defines a spoon, a cone, or a scoop? What counts as background, and what as subject? By shifting roles and functions, I blur the fixed boundaries between tool and container, object and context—questioning the systems that make them feel stable in the first place.
