Inspired by the enigmatic world of animals, the video casts a spell with hand shadows on the wall. Kids' silhouettes morph and dance, forming fleeting narratives that tantalize the imagination. Within the delicate interplay of light and darkness, stories emerge and fade, hinting at deeper meanings just out of reach. The film focuses on the tantalizing exploration of transformation and transience. While tracing the simplest of gestures, the work embodies the fleeting nature of existence. A visual ode where simplicity intertwines with profound contemplation. In collaboration with my two kids, this film preserves their fleeting childhood moments, inviting us to cherish simplicity and unspoken connections. Watch as shadows become art, transcending language and revealing the ethereal unity of our world with 'dogs'. The empathy unfolds itself in modest gestures, a visual poetry of innocence that draws poignant parallels to a collective human experience.
