Digital Experimental Short / 04:54 min / 2018

There are times that the nightmarish quality of anxiety can swallow you whole. The passage of time ebbs and flows as the consistent ticking of your life surrounds and gnaws at you. With the use of repetition and the depiction of the degradation of nature, I tried to encapsulate this tension and feeling of loss of control in a series of three interconnected short films: Elisir, Aves, and Saturatiorem. While filming and editing this project, I continually asked myself the question – what occurs when it all ends – and convey my response in a visual oppressive dream-like sequence.
