"Welcome to Coney Island" emerged from a trip that was both thrilling and eerie, where the amusement park's unsettling clown and the nearby aquarium gave off a dystopian vibe, like something out of a forgotten sci-fi film. Neon lights flickered, casting distorted shadows, and the creaking rides in the wind made the whole place feel suspended between nostalgia and nightmare.
I took photos throughout the trip, which became the foundation for this animation, shaping its style, color palette, and typography. The text itself reflects the haunted energy of the place—distorted and unsettling—capturing that strange, hypnotic thrill that lingers long after you leave.
