🎬 Project Synopsis
Garden of Wellness is a 3-minute motion graphics film that explores the transformation from urban overwhelm to inner peace through the restorative presence of nature.
Driven by my passion for holistic wellness and nature-inspired art, this project integrates the concept of floral therapy with motion storytelling — showing how even a brief encounter with nature can shift our mental and emotional state.
🌸 Artistic Intent & Conceptual Framework
Inspired by real research on the therapeutic effects of flowers and greenery, this animation reflects my belief that nature is not only beautiful — it’s healing.
The narrative centers on a city dweller who discovers a rooftop wellness garden, representing an emotional journey back to calmness and clarity. The animation is framed as a meditative visual experience, inviting viewers to slow down and reconnect with natural rhythms.
🔬 Research-Informed Creation
This project incorporates:
-
Scientific studies on floral therapy and nature’s role in stress reduction
-
Case studies on therapeutic gardens in hospitals and urban design
-
Cultural practices that connect flowers to wellbeing and symbolism
These insights were visually translated into each scene, colour choice, and ambient element.
