COSPLAY AND OWNERSHIP: BRINGING LIFE
TO A DIGITAL WORLD
AN ONLINE COMMUNITY’S DEDICATION TO PHYSICAL EXPERIENCES

PANTHEON : A DIGITAL GOD AMONG MEN
AN ANIMATED THESIS ON THE MIND AND BODY, CRAFTED WITH SOUL
“Pantheon’s story is about love as much as it is about death, and in its explorations, it shows people’s various pursuits of escape. This includes those who find solace in the idea of God, which Netflix’s poster alludes to through the crown of thorns in Christian faith. But human connection is a higher power in itself, and love encourages us to reach up to touch something bigger than ourselves in our paintings, music, sculpture, and writing”
