A little background information...

This is my graduation film from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.
I was looking for a visual language that would enable me to combine the mediums I work with – drawing, animation, photography, and writing.
I was also interested in focusing here on the limitations of language, this helplessness or inability of words to be sufficient enough to bring together two characters. To talk about distance.
I was interested in finding a visual connection between the body and the inner world.
I chose a visual language which enables to synthesize between the familiar physical reality and a dynamic state of consciousness and memory.
