🎨✨ Drawing is more than just lines on a page - it’s a powerful way to communicate, spark imagination, and stir emotion. But what if a drawing didn’t have to stop at the page?

At SSM Health Treffert Studios, we took one of our Friday participant’s incredible drawings and brought it to life through animation - not just to make it move, but to give it breath. 💫
