Concept
This short experimental film explores the liminal space between memory and trauma. Through the act of spinning, the subject is transported into a bright, surreal void where fragmented memories and past experiences begin to take shape. The film captures the disorienting process of recalling these memories, blending abstract visuals to convey the tension between clarity and distortion.
The project seeks to explore how a single action, such as spinning, can trigger the mind’s response to memory and trauma, creating a poetic experience that invites reflection on the cyclical nature of recollection.
