Kingdom Hearts and I’ identifies my connection to my favourite childhood video game, Kingdom Hearts.
‘Kingdom Hearts and I’ identifies my own personal connection to my favourite childhood video game, Kingdom Hearts and why I want to discuss the subject. My series of illustrations focus on how I used to immerse myself so heavily in the game as a child, that I used to imagine myself within it alongside my favourite characters, Sora, Donald and Goofy (along with other recognisable Disney characters from the game). Each individual illustration shows myself alongside these characters in my 3 favourite different Disney worlds from the game, Atlantic (The Little Mermaid), ‘Pride Lands’ (The Lion King) and ‘Halloween Town’ (The Nightmare Before Christmas). My illustrations aim to show just how deeply and emotionally connected I am still today to this particular game, and hopes to connect with the audience to make them realise their own personal connection to their own favourite video game.
