This animation piece commemorates my journey from Beijing, China to the United States to pursue my studies. Born and raised in Beijing, I have a background in graphic design from both my undergraduate and previous graduate studies. Through this project, I aim to share my personal experience of traveling across the globe and living in different cities to study and grow.

For the character design, I intentionally made subtle changes to the character to represent my personal growth over time. Each city is depicted with a unique color palette, reflecting the distinct experiences and atmospheres of each location. Additionally, I incorporated an "undersea" concept into the story to convey the adventurous, unknown, and exciting aspects of this journey.
