The project
THE PROJECT
Told through three visual approaches, BIGWIG explores how what makes us feel different can become what sets us free.
In an opulent rococo salon, aristocratic women wear towering hairstyles fashioned from living sheep. Black Sheep, perched atop the exquisite Madame Meringue, grows restless with this strange decorative existence — until a dark, theatrical painting reveals a vision of revolt.

Director’s Bio
Katarina Martins
Katarina Martins is a Montreal-based concept artist, illustrator, and art educator with a love for storytelling through expressive visual design. Stepping into the director’s chair for the first time, she brings to life the world of Bigwig, a universe that has been quietly growing in her imagination for years, now ready to burst onto the screen with all its humour and heart. This marks her third collaboration with Studio Niloc, following her visual development work on D’où viennent les lapins and Coeur Astral. She’s always thinking about sheep and often counting them in her sleep too.
