This typography animation is inspired by a profound line from the Diamond Sutra: 'All conditioned phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew or a flash of lightning. Thus should you view them.' The idea behind this project was to visually capture the transient and fleeting nature of existence, as described in the sutra. I used flowing text to represent how everything in life:our thoughts, emotions, and experiences are constantly shifts, never solid or permanent.

 

The text in the animation consists of the Chinese characters from '一切有为法 如梦幻泡影 如露亦如电 应作如是观', which is 'All conditioned phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew or a flash of lightning. Thus should you view them,' from the sutra.
