He remarked, 'Every so often, a piece emerges that truly exemplifies the profound impact of art, stirring emotions and igniting our souls.'
'Life and Death' starts its narrative with a young boy captivated by a vibrant yellow butterfly. He chases after it eagerly, but stumbles as it flits out of reach. Initially disheartened, he quickly regains his joy, embarking on a new chapter as he transitions from childhood to adolescence.
The joyful youth performs acrobatic stunts and sinks into an armchair, indulging in video games—an experience relatable to most teenagers—until he is enamored by a girl. His first encounter with heartbreak occurs when she abruptly exits, leaving him alone.
As time progresses, the boy grows into a man, entering a routine life of work, sleep, and daily repetition. Having moved from a small town to the vibrant streets of New York City, he delves into his adult responsibilities.
With advancements in his career, a new chapter unfolds as he relocates to San Francisco. Here, he meets a partner and embraces fatherhood, holding his wife’s hand while guiding their stroller with their newborn.
Eventually, he reaches the twilight years of his life. Now an elder, he watches his child, now an adult, wave joyfully and run ahead, a poignant moment that concludes with the man collapsing and passing away. His journey ends with a tombstone etched with R.I.P, as he transforms into an angel, ascending into the heavens.
DeeKay also shared This poignant animation is inspired by the artist's late grandmother, with memories of her spirit visiting him woven throughout.
