Why did you make this work:

It aims to establish connections with individuals who undergo the process of relocating to new places, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse experiences associated with such transitions.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
The exploration involved multiple approaches, such as stop motion animation, screen printing, mono-printing, etching, sound editing, documenting, bookbinding, different mediums of hand drawings, and research. Together, these elements formed a non-linear, experimental, documented, and fragmented animation.
