This rotoscopic animation by Agustin Iezzi is the humble, unassuming portrait of a domestic space during pandemic times. Birds and lines remind us of the cyclical patterns of life. Soft conversations, scraps of music and day-to-day sounds fill the aural atmosphere. Meanwhile, we observe the constant transformation of black and white patches: like a dance of yin and yang.
