Outline of the work
One cold morning, I decided to go on a journey.
She had promised to meet during the holidays, but she had been gone for some time. I set out on a journey to look for her, going on rumors that she should be in “the town by the sea.”
Creative intention
I tried to create a work that gets close to the “individual,” something directed at each person; to the one and only “you” whose face I don’t know. The aim was also to spark the creation of new artistry through the making and presenting of new animation and video works.
