Blissfulness
Spring 2025
For this Project I decided to make my animation about the emotion Blissfulness. Ever since Ive been in California life has been hectic but what has continuously grounded me is going on bike rides in the morning. When I do I feel a sense of peace, hope and getting out and moving my body in the sun makes me feel very grateful for life and connected to God. it puts me inn a state of Blissfulness.

My piece tells the story of a woman who, on a dark and rainy night, cries out to God, longing to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and reconnect with herself. By morning, her heart is touched, and her worries have transformed into sweet surrender. I combined five audio samples, four beats and one original song titled “Alter Call,” performed by my cousin Jasmine Tiamfook and written by me. I used sound effects to create an atmospheric mood and blend the rain with the vocals. The most challenging part was syncing the audio with the video in Premiere Pro, which I overcame by using time stamps and carefully aligning each sound with patience.

For my Project I decided to create a narrative quilt, Narrative Quilts have a rich history rooted in African American culture. These have long served as a powerful form of storytelling in my community they are often created by African American women, to document family histories, tell biblical stories, and even record the realities of slavery and the Civil Rights Movement.
In the image shown I collaged some of my images from my recent body of work “The Light We Carry”, which is reflection of the intricate tapestry of family lineage, and resilience my families migration to America. At its core, this work is a deeply personal exploration of the matriarchs who have shaped my journey, and my own evolution into a matriarch within my family’s lineage. I named it Unbuntu which means “I am because you are” after the South African philosophy which is a deeply communal and humanist approach to life emphasizing interconnectedness and shared humanity.
