Although most of her studies involve working with 3D graphics, 2D illustrations are a major aspect of her creative process and final work. Throughout Mari\u2019s life, she has strived to learn new programs and techniques to improve her artistic skills and turn her frightening ideas into reality. The horror and psychological thriller genres are a constant source of inspiration for her personal work. Many of her projects present otherworldly creatures and dark environments to disturb her audience in the same way classic horror films such as <em>The Thing<\/em> and <em>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em> do. Mari believes the world we live in can be unsettling yet fantastical and consistently presents this perspective in her work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-aos= \"fade-left\" data-aos-duration=\"400\" data-aos-delay=\"0\" data-aos-easing=\"ease\" data-aos-once=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-787c2033\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-33d869bf wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bfashow.dmd.uconn.edu\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Mari-Klein-Headshot-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-1552\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" title=\"Mari Klein Headshot\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio uagb-block-f6f9c3e4 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-899e302d\"><h4 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Artist Statement<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">My animated short is meant to frighten the audience by presenting a teenager&#8217;s warped perspective of her first therapy session and irrational fears which she personifies as grotesque monsters. I crafted a horrifying experience to help viewers connect with those who are mentally and physically debilitated by phobias. <em>Contained Conditions<\/em> discusses Dysmorphophobia, Mysophobia, Agoraphobia, Haphephobia, and Nyctophobia. These intense fears can make an individual&#8217;s life unbearable as they are in a constant state of anxiety and discomfort. To a certain extent, I believe that if one person experiences the emotions of another, they will gain a profound understanding of their peer\u2019s life and hopefully try to support them to the best of their ability. Therefore, by ensuring the viewers of my short story are at least unsettled by its eerie tone and the otherworldly monsters it showcases, viewers will gain empathy for those with one or multiple phobias.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-slider wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio uagb-block-f263f817 uagb-slider-container\"><div class=\"uagb-slides uagb-swiper\"><div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-slider-child uagb-slider-child-wrap swiper-slide uagb-block-ade93ac2\"><div class=\"swiper-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-cdc44df8 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-d5bb1180 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bfashow.dmd.uconn.edu\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/MariKlein_ContainedConditions_Image-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-1914\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"presentation\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-slider-child uagb-slider-child-wrap swiper-slide uagb-block-8355035d\"><div class=\"swiper-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-02af7eaa alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-01ebb901 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bfashow.dmd.uconn.edu\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/MariKlein_ContainedConditions_Image-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-1915\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"MariKlein_ContainedConditions_Image 2\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-slider-child uagb-slider-child-wrap swiper-slide uagb-block-bb90d1b8\"><div class=\"swiper-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-91d3ad2e alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-7d3c3272 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bfashow.dmd.uconn.edu\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/MariKlein_ContainedConditions_Image-3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-1913\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"MariKlein_ContainedConditions_Image 3\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mari Klein&nbsp;
