For the Birds
Two exasperated birds sit on a branch and contemplate their experiences. Their everyday labours are not far removed from ours. -
Friends in Low Places
An abstract animation that dissolves borders, celebrates care for others, and encourages solidarity through poetic allegory. -
Happy Song for You
“It’s got no theme, it’s got no dream, it’s just a happy song for you.” A dark exploration of the absurd. -
