Abstract
The phenomenon of internal migration in Indonesia is a common thing in society, where millions of productive age migrants move somewhere in search of economic opportunities, experience and independence. This process involves survival in a new environment, cultural and emotional adaptation that will cause a reinterpretation of home/place of origin when returning home caused by nostalgia and reintegration stress. This study uses sea turtles as a homecoming metaphor for migrants, because the sea turtle natal homing reflects the struggle of migrants back and forth: leaving their place of origin, staying in their place of region, and returning with a new perspective. The urgency lies in increasing public awareness related to migration issues, where animation can be an educational tool, encouraging reflection on the meaning of home when returning to the place of origin (homecoming). The methodology of this research uses a qualitative approach with a focus on primary and secondary data collection which is the basis for the design. Primary data were obtained through interviews with three groups of resource persons, namely productive-age migrants (for migration and homecoming experiences), psychologists (for migration and nostalgia analysis from the psychological side), and animators (for storytelling techniques and anthropomorphism). Meanwhile, secondary data is sourced from literature such as journals and books as well as mass media. The results of the analysis show that there is an emotional ambivalence in migration, where migrants often feel homesickness, but also reintegration stress due to many differences and changes (hometown feels left behind in progress, culture shock or loss of old identity), with economic factors as the main driver. From psychologists, homecoming is integrated with a sense of belonging as a need for a sense of security, or acceptance. Meanwhile according to animators, anthropomorphic animation can be used to target adult audiences with a two-layered story meaning (simple for children, but profound for adults) with a customizable visual style and focus on one main message about homecoming represented by sea turtle natal homing. The design of the 2D animation "Homecoming" visualizes the sociological experience of migrants through a visual metaphor approach of turtle migration that represents the emotional dynamics of migrants, ranging from the saturation of routines, fear of the risk of return, to the meaning of the home as a temporary shelter for self-recovery. Overall, this design emphasizes homecoming as a crucial cycle for migrants and distance is an important element that strengthen the feeling for one’s hometown.
