All the Moons in all the Waters

“All the Moons in all the Waters”, synthesizes several years of artistic contemplation into a single animated short film. The work began as a collection of drawings and songs created over several years during our ongoing creative practice. We animated the drawings using various digital techniques, including self-trained artificial intelligence models. We approach each part of the process with a contemplative mind and let the work evolve without attachment. Over six months, countless generations and iterations were developed, culminating in an organic, watery evolution of animation. This work is a metaphor for our spiritual journey of daily life.

“One Nature, perfect and pervading, circulates in all natures,
One Reality, all-comprehensive, contains within itself all realities.
The one Moon reflects itself wherever there is a sheet of water,
And all the moons in the waters are embraced within the one Moon.”
