So happy to finally share this amazing project I got to work on.
A while back my friends @paganieyewear reached out to me about wanting to work with animation artist Hoji Tsuchiya and if would be willing to help.
Long story short this call coincided with a time where I was at a low point. I had loss relationships, did not know my direction with work, and just at the start of a sobriety journey.
So I sat down and wrote this narrative about how one can lose themselves. Lose the path or reason for the journey they are on. The need to stop and process all the experiences, feelings, and lessons we’ve gathered. A pause to remember why we started the journey and see clearly again, with a greater understanding, where our vision is taking us.
It’s called “Eye See”, an eyewear brands take on losing and regaining your vision.
