Director Statement

This installation, originally intended for projection at my 29th birthday party, was created in honour of my cat Moon who passed away in May of 2025. Occuring during the pregnancy of my first child, this piece is a reflection of the inner-dialogue occuring within me about the cycle of life and death.
