The Dream of the Magical Rose

The Dream of the Magical Rose, directed by Shadab Shayegan, is part of the animated video series Once Upon an Artwork inspired by artworks from the collection of Museum of Modern Art. The series invites children to imagine, play, seek adventure, and create their own worlds through art. Each film is based on audio recordings of children responding to artworks and is brought to life through the director’s distinctive vision and storytelling. I contributed as part of the animation team.
