“don’t interrupt me! i’m speaking, i’m educating you, honey!”
Blending wry, ironic humor, with overt melodrama, the animations feature ghosts in the midsts of arguments, reconciliations, or singing laments. Envisioned as floating sheets with eye and mouth cutouts, these specters, and the arguments they embody, explore autobiographical fragments and personal tragedies within the context of broader existential themes such as climate change and anxieties of a digitally-dominated future.
The stories reveal ghosts in various states of limbo, trapped in perpetual cycles.
