It feels like the good stuff seems to always come out of the blue. That's why I've been listening to a lot of jazz everyday for the last two years; so many tunes lift me up and calm me down with their unexpected goodness, helping me find the perfect balance.
This personal project celebrates the collective spirit of jazz through diverse women musicians. Each character brings her own rhythm, her own color to the composition - just like in a jazz ensemble where individual voices blend into harmony.
Working with animators and musician on this piece added another layer of life. Their insights helped shape the movement and energy of each performer, bringing true musical feeling to the illustration.
From the way hands hold instruments to the subtle expressions of concentration and joy, every detail aims to capture that magical moment when musicians connect.
It's also a celebration of inclusivity in music, showing women of all backgrounds united by their love of jazz.
Like jazz itself, this project became a beautiful collaboration where different creative voices came together to create something unexpected and alive.
