For millennia, humans have used mythology to rationalise the world around them. Millions of avatars have been created to personify the abstract. But as humans changed, as our moral priorities shifted and as our worldly comprehension expanded, so too did our mythology.

As such, many old idols whose assigned values no longer resonate with modern audiences have been discarded, or to use the modern parlance: 'cancelled'. We like to think ourselves above what once was and that by ridding ourselves of old avatars we have evolved into something better – but how will current myths, beliefs and values hold up in the future?

This project attempts to contextualise this notion through a tongue-and-cheek animation following the disgruntled old Norse god Odin, as he rants about his imposed ostracism, and in doing so, passes comment on our belief systems then and now.

Sure it’s important to get both sides of the story.
