KATHERINE OTERO

      As a multimedia artist, the work I make is a narrative experimental animation video that deals with various types of taboo subject matters such as child abuse and trauma. Creating characters that have dealt with these types of situations can help bring awareness and allow victims to be able to resonate with these characters that makes them not feel alone in the matter. I visually create a certain cartoony innocent stylization that tricks the viewers into believing that they're watching something innocent instead of a dark matter. The dark matter moments are revealed through the aggression of the movements and actions. The chaotic mindset nature of the character is shown rapidly through abstractive video elements of organic forms.
