Director Statement

I have been chasing a concept both local and universal about the spirit of today. One of the major problems of the world these days is the dominance of duality. The violent confrontation between masculine and feminine forms of existence... All things that the houses we live in, the economy, and the system in general impose on us are instruments of masculine domination. On the other hand, the female form searches for itself in the depths of its existence, unlike the masculine which is always under the spotlight. I tried to tell an allegorical story of rebellion and unification instead of one of vanishing. I wonder where the human that is walking away from nature - or the ‘post-human' - is going towards, what it is evolving into.
