Some attachments begin as comfort…

Held Close is a 3D animated project inspired by how orphans form emotional attachments to objects —

making it difficult to move forward or connect with the world beyond them.
This project explores that transition —
from holding on for comfort, to recognizing when it starts to hold you back.
