Skyler’s “my life in lines" is a computer-generated (CG) work that invites viewers to explore themes related to identity, personal history, and the passage of time.
The lines symbolize different life paths and choices that shape who we are. Each line may represent a significant event or decision, collectively illustrating the complexity of personal identity. The lines vary in thickness, texture, and continuity, representing the fluctuations and complexities of personal experiences.
The choice of colors conveys an optimistic experience. The many arm colors convey joyous memories and positive experiences, while the few cooler tones suggest periods of melancholy or introspection.
Specific motifs, such as roads, branches, or webs, serve as metaphors for choices, growth, and the interconnectedness of life experiences.
While each line represents a significant event or decision, collectively illustrating the complexity of personal identity, there is a meta-script we follow as the cyclical or linear progression of the lines suggests how time influences experiences, with some trails fading while others become more prominent as life unfolds.
