“Every Little bit counts”, a 2D and stop motion animation presented as a third year student project at AUB.”I chose to make a 1minute spot for the awareness for the protection of the sea. The animation follows the journey of dirt thrown in the sea, until it gets to our bodies and end up harming us.” - Dima Boulad

“This installation is a criticism on how a woman in today’s society can embrace televisual messages and have her vision of herself totally shaped and manipulated by the advertising messages. I took make up as a symbolic act that reveals the frustration of never being fully satisfied with the way one looks, hiding layers that society pushes us to be ashamed of, conforming to the social standards of beauty. Putting Make up on is a very repetitive act, one can almost take for granted. The installation questions what happens when a woman looks at herself in the mirror, and explores the different relations that occur : the relation between herself and her reflection, between herself and society, the break between herself and her ideal self.” - Dima Boulad
