Botanical animation "Story of Flowers 2" AMKK

 

The Story of Flowers animation series launched in 2017 as a gift to children worldwide, with the first film exploring the life cycle of flowering plants. In part two we delve into the relationship between flowers and humans: the way we involve flowers in our lives through various cultures and practices. The animation looks at flowers not from a material viewpoint; instead seeing them as symbols of connection, a way we share emotions. It is Azuma's vision to show children the deep connection between flowers and ourselves, and turn their eyes to the power and potential of flowers.

Taking their roots in the earth, sprouting, blooming, pollination by birds and insects, living on in spite of rain, wind and storms. They pass on the baton of life, rebirth and decay. Everything is so in a continuous, endless cycle. This is the story and message of this animation.
