Director Statement

"Kitchen Sink" is an experimental claymation music video that submerges viewers in a surreal, aquatic world inhabited by sculpted creatures and shifting watery tableaus. I served as the director, animator, and editor of the film, with original music composed by Jake Trujillo. Through tactile clay animation and ambient sound, we sought to craft an immersive visual journey that sits between dream and ritual.
