The Motion graphics & Sound from the installation:
N1. Time heals all wounds
challenges the common belief that grief fades with time, rejecting the idea of it as a linear process with an end point. Instead, it presents time as a space in which memory and longing resurface in fragmented, frame-by-frame movement.

N2. Grief Stages
Challenging the legitimacy of the five-stage model of grief, this piece proposes a more fluid and complex emotional structure. Through the transformation of two-dimensional folds into evolving three-dimensional forms, it reveals the limitations of prescriptive frameworks.

Inspired by the writings of Georges Perec, this animation examines task-based models of mourning. Emphasising action verbs, it reflects the compulsion to 'do' in order to escape grief, revealing the void that remains.

N4. Repetitive circuit
In reference to religious rituals, the animation reflects on the performance of mourning through halachic obligations, using the text of the Kaddish. The gradual disappearance of the text emphasises the emotional dissonance between obligation, duty and fulfilment, evoking the tormented.

N5. Taboo
Focusing on the social and internal silencing of grief, this animation visualises the tension of unspoken pain. The act of removal and concealment reflects the psychological containment of grief that is often deemed unacceptable or excessive.
