Imagination is a lively, colourful cut-out animation inspired by Matisse paper cuts. The disabled and deaf protagonist in her pink wheelchair escapes from a grey street into an exhibition where artworks interact with her through movement and sign, bringing life and colour to her world. Imagination brings pictures to life, animating the world, just as sign language tells stories through movement. Music composed for the film reflects her emotions, and a poem spoken on her electronic communication aid communicates passion for art and animation and the power of creativity to transform and enrich life.
