This is a scene from Children’s Requiem, Sumito Sakakibara’s new animated film currently in production.
A boy emerges with only his face above the surface of a water-filled bathtub.
Inspired by a casual gesture of a child in the artist’s own bathroom, this work captures a familiar moment we’ve all experienced—the sound and pressure of being underwater.
The elegant wallpaper and clawfoot tub add a touch of beauty to the scene.
