The Scientist's Journey

Enhancer in Art

The Scientist’s Journey is a 2D animated short film about a scientist who gets sucked into her research. 

The animation visualizes the idea of losing oneself in one’s work in quite a literal way. Most scientists work for years on a project and won’t know whether their hard work will pay off until the end. The pressure and insecurities that accompany this process can be slightly overwhelming.

Pattern Design

This animation was made for the “Enhancer in Art”-project as part of the Enhpathy Consortium. 

It was a collaboration with Anna-Karina Felder, a scientist currently doing her PhD in Developmental Biology and Stem Cell research at the Hubrecht Institute. Her research focusses on several incurable blood diseases and how to treat them. 

The music was composed and performed by Elisabeth Bertels.
