Remember Me

Remember Me is an animated pop-up book artwork inspired by Mexico's Day of the Dead. Structured as a three-dimensional, unfolding book, the work is articulated through a sequence of animated spreads—Invitation, Remembrance, Reunion, and Return. As paper architectures rise, fold, and transform, visual motifs such as altars, marigolds, candles, and skeletal figures appear and recede, framing memory as a constructed, fragile, and ritualized process. Through the tactile illusion of paper mechanics and carefully paced motion, the project approaches death not as a final state, but as a cyclical relationship between the living and the remembered, in which remembrance briefly renders absence present.
