In a series of explorations, this short aims to connect reality and abstraction through animation in an attempt to understand what it means "to abstract".

This series started from the desire to bridge the gap between abstract art and reality. Normally when faced with an abstract image our mind must extrapolate from the reduced artwork in order to reconstruct the original subject it was created from. Each of the individual animations tackles a different form of abstraction and stitches it together with its source.

In films, as in life, the bathtub is often considered a private space for women - a place not only to groom, but to relax, to think, to grieve, to be alone, to find sanctuary. For Hollywood, though, it's also a place of naked vulnerability, where women narratively placed in harm's way have no escape.

Squame explores the body’s sensitive envelope, the skin. The ephemeral animated desquamations, created with the help of sugar casts, evoke fragile landscapes in a world at the edge of abstraction.

A woman slogs through an identity mired with gendered stereotypes and consumer capitalism to attempt to discover her true self. What is "natural" or "original" becomes inaccessible, forgotten, and nonexistent.

“Very Noise” is an attempt to transcribe into images the synthesis of many testimonies of stroke victims that we have collected over the past few years. About 3/4 of the stroke victims are heterosexual white males over 50 years old and the visions that arise from these experiences have in common the neuroses of this category of the population. Identity disorder, existential anxieties linked to erection problems, transfer phenomenon to a more sporty image of the father, burning desire for extreme but playful activities such as motocross or solo rock climbing... The notion of figurative abstraction is also very significant in the stories, it is a form of link between two ideas that challenge each other, one could speak of a remedy for cognitive dissonance generated by overlapping fantasies.
