Fáinne (fawn-ya) is an ongoing visual development project for a dark fantasy animated short, exploring a medieval Irish world shaped by loss, ritual, and transformation. The work includes environment, character, and prop design, with a focus on symbolic worldbuilding and atmosphere. Key locations include a ruined shoreline village, an ancient stone circle, and a beached whale acting as a liminal threshold between life and death.
Originally developed for a festival-bound student film, Fáinne also serves as the foundation for a broader mythic anthology set in the world of Airenne.
