Vuela
May your homesick tears water the seeds of your dreams.
‘Vuela’ (Fly) is a heartfelt story about dreams, resilience, and the courage it takes to leave home in the pursuit of your dreams. This short animated film follows a young girl and her dream of soaring through the skies. Along the way, she discovers the challenges of chasing her aspirations, and with her mother’s unwavering support, she learns that dreaming big and being brave, are the keys to making those dreams a reality.
Rooted in the emotional journey of immigration, the film weaves personal voice recordings and soft visuals into a story about love, sacrifice, and the strength it takes to grow beyond the familiar. Vuela is a tribute to the bonds that hold us, the dreams that pull us forward, and the courage to carry both.
Vuela is a soaring reminder that love and courage make all things possible, and that the ones we carry in our hearts are always with us, helping us fly.
One Way Ticket
One way Ticket, is inspired by my personal immigration journey from Peru to Ireland. The piece explores the emotional weight of leaving home, particularly the anxiety, uncertainty, and fear that come with stepping into the unknown. While rooted in my own experience, I aimed to make it universally relatable by avoiding characters or identifiable features, allowing viewers to project their own emotions and narratives onto it. Sound plays a vital role in the piece; the audio composition works hand in hand with the animation to deepen the emotional atmosphere. A particularly personal element is a voice recording of my mother saying goodbye before I left for Ireland. It adds a layer of comfort yet evokes a bittersweet sense of longing and connection to loved ones left behind.
