Whereabouts

This project by illustrator Suejee Lee centers around an animated short film also called Whereabouts and is documented and extended through this companion book. The work explores the concept of movement, mapping, and the complexity of finding a sense of place. The film uses a technique of hand-drawn frames and a minimal color palette, relying on sequential images to build its narrative.

The project engages with themes of dislocation, memory, and the physical space occupied by the body. The work is characterized by its simple line work and focus on sequence. The overall purpose of the book is to use the sequential art and animation form to examine the complexity of feeling "at home" or lost in a modern setting.
