After researching the East Austin neighborhood around Cesar Chavez and I-35, and conducting a field survey of the homes, I created gifs inspired by the sentiments I saw from the community. I was most drawn to the experience of each person who was directly affected and I wanted to illustrate how the local population in the neighborhood experiencing the gentrification must feel. In my gifs I tried to play with a mix of illustration and images. I felt like the idea of collage and mixing elements would be a good representation of realistic sentiments and my personal observations. The main ideas presented in each gif are the effects of gentrification and how it can destroy homes and communities.
