CRASHING
Mixed Media Short. 9 minutes 19 sec.A young man lives alone in a city. In his home, In his work, In his bed — he is alone. The Man does not rest. The Man does not sleep. If the Man sits too still, the Silence returns. And in the Silence, so comes the Beast. Link available upon request.
SCREAM_COWER_PRAY
3D Animation. 56 sec.Scream_Cower_Pray is a series of hand-built ceramics inspired by the paintings of Oswaldo Guayasamín. The sculptures were then scanned and animated - their stilted and disjointed movements crying out at the loss of agency, of tangibility. Once solid and ephemeral, now forever immortalized in digital ruins.
