Yirou Sun

Three children stand framed in the open doorway with the street visible behind them: one smiles with her eyes closed and hands behind her back, the one in the middle looks bored over his glasses with hands in his pockets, and the third stands off to the right with an open-mouth smile.

Statement

Yirou Sun is a creative scene artist, designer, and 2D animator passionate about constructing emotionally resonant and narratively powerful visual worlds through painting and animation.

She is about to graduate with a BA (Honours) degree in Animation, Visual Effects, and Motion Design from MTU Ireland, and also holds a foundation in animation and fine arts from Algonquin College in Canada.

For her, a scene is not merely a backdrop, but an extension of emotion and the starting point of a story.
