DEVI

The Project

DEVI, a Horror Fantasy animated short in which a field trip into the Nepalese mountains turns into a fight for survival between the college student and a nature deity through its fantasy realm. Incorporating personal interpretations of Hindu mythology while exploring themes of isolation, faith, and entropy. DEVI was produced with Adobe Animate and Photoshop, featuring an original soundtrack composed by Rachel and Abimael Torres. Starring Lucas Lustenberger's voice acting talents as the alluring antagonist Madana.

Themes and Inspirations

Through DEVI I wanted to explore themes of Death and the afterlife as well as the concept of dark Femininity. Visual inspirations were drawn from Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away and Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha.
