The Mound
“The Mound” is a reimagining of Joseph Conrad’s Classic, “Heart of Darkness” but told through the lens of an ant colony exerting its dominance over a defeated termite mound.
I’ve always wanted to see an animated show about insects that properly reflected the brutality of their world.
The challenge is to still keep that sense of whimsy in the design. Choosing a narrative that leaned into the human capacity for cruelty, and throwing a bunch of goofy designs into the fray was my way of bridging the gap.
