Canadian artist François Zavier has a very interesting body of work. He does a lot of mixed media work, experimental typography and stop motion animating. I found him through his "the worst is yet to come" series, in which he uses heated wires to burn through papers with motivational sayings. It's a unique concept, and to me, it's an interesting way to visually portray anxiety and depression.
Initially I only saw François' photographs from the series, but afterwards I saw he also had a video on his website. The video is even more interesting to watch, because you watch the words form and slowly burn through the paper. I also noticed he's used .gifs to present his work several times, and decided to make a gif of his video. This kind of work is perfect for .gifs because, while you can enjoy the work as a still image, a short clip of the process will make you appreciate it even more.
