Data Visualisation Animation

For this animation, I focused on human-centered data, specifically exploring the relationship between sleep patterns, mood, and emotions. Inspired by my studio workshop, where I tracked my sleep quality using colour, I expanded the idea to include my daily mood tracker. This tracker is colour-coded: green for good days and red for bad days. The concept evolved as I noticed how people often emphasize bad days over good ones. I wanted my animation to shift this focus, encouraging mindfulness and positivity. An article on artist Stephanie Harrison, who uses data visualization to promote mindfulness, greatly influenced my approach, even though her work is not animated. My goal was to make complex emotions and data simple and visually appealing. I used colour and movement to convey different emotional states—red circles bouncing rapidly represented intense emotions on bad days, while green circles moved more calmly, reflecting a sense of tranquillity.
