Naked Summer

Motion Stories of Embodiment and Connection
Naked Summer is a series of animated moments reflecting on the raw, unfiltered pleasures of the season. Those unspoken moments when we are closest to ourselves and the natural world. Each image holds space for slowness: a nap cradled by dreamlike forms, a warm embrace sinking into tall grass, a solitary bath blooming with flowers and quiet. The series leans into the intimacy of summer not through spectacle, but through softness. Using subtle surrealism and earthy pastel tones it explores themes of vulnerability, connection, and release. Naked Summer is all about returning to a truer rhythm. It invites us to inhabit tenderness, to feel the skin of the season, and to rest within the wild calm it offers.
Naked Summer is a series of animated GIFs that embraces the tender stillness of the season, where bare skin meets soft grass, water, and warmth. A quiet celebration of intimacy, rest, and the slow rhythm of nature.
