The project revolves around women’s menopause, which is a natural life cycle, but public misunderstandings about menopause make women more anxious and nervous during menopause. I wanted to use my conversations with my mom about menopause to illustrate the symptoms and psychological changes that women face during menopause. My mother and I represent women at two different stages. I represent people who have not yet gone through menopause, and my mother represents people who are going through menopause. I want to use these two perspectives to express how different people feel about menopause. And I want to use this animation to show the changes in menopausal women’s mentality when facing menopause, from anxiety to acceptance to relief. I want to use the changes in the characters in the animation and my visualization of menopausal symptoms to allow people to more intuitively feel the feelings that menopause brings to women. I also hope that women who are going through menopause can empathize with them. Let’s learn more about what menopause is really like. I hope more people can understand menopause and pay attention to and understand menopausal women. I hope to encourage more women who have experienced menopause to boldly share their experiences, express their worries, and reduce anxiety about menopause.
这些图片都是我对最终动画的尝试。我写了详细的故事板，记录了动画中发生的所有文字交流，以及整个最终动画的照片。我也对材料进行了一些实验，选择了更适合我想要表达的感觉的材料。
