1-Escapism & Art Therapy

Escapism is a mental diversion from unpleasant aspects of daily life, typically through activities involving imagination or entertainment. Escapism also may be used to occupy one’s self away from persistent feelings of depression or general sadness.

Entire industries have sprung up to foster a growing tendency of people to remove themselves from the rigors of daily life – especially into the digital world.

As a student of 3D computer animation, I wondered if I could create a virtual world in which people would be physically and mentally relaxed, satisfy their fantasies, and get a moment of peace.
