This short film explores memory and transformation through handcrafted elements and personal collaboration with my mother. The dress, made from Japanese paper and hand-painted with watercolor, reflects a sense of fragility and care. Background vocals recorded with my partner and mother, echo the quiet murmur of voices from my childhood home.
Masks formed from clay and plaster rest on palm leaves gathered from my mother’s backyard, while a painted backdrop of vintage dolls and animal figurines adds a surreal, storybook quality. Each detail was created to evoke an imaginative space shaped by memory, ritual, and familial connection.
