Create!

“Create!” is a manifesto about creativity and inspiration, which experimentally combines the visual aesthetics of basketball and the mixed-media form.

The main character is an artist in a creative block. He accidentally notices a basketball on a cluttered shelf, which was given to him by a famous basketball player as a child. A short message to the young artist written on the ball: “Create!”. And now, years later, this phrase is becoming an impulse for action, and basketball is a source of inspiration.
