Project Brief: Retell an existing story in a different way, ensuring that the outcome conveys time and movement.
I chose The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde because I found it intriguing and rich with potential for reinterpretation—especially since time plays a crucial role in the narrative. The portrait’s gradual transformation serves as a visual representation of Dorian’s inner changes. For these reasons, I felt that this story was a perfect fit for the project.
