「Dimension of Memory(記憶の次元)」
この作品は、海が記憶の次元でしか存在しない海辺で1日を過ごしている少女の物語です。
悲しいことに、彼女の物語には海はもはや現実に存在しません。
不安と冷静の相反する感情に圧倒されている少女。
「jellyfish(クラゲ)」は彼女の周りを際限なく浮いている。
彼女の時間は静謐で、消滅した海のように干上がっているのです。

この物語は、私の親しい友人であり、チームの一員でもあるRobertaの詩に触発されています。
ビデオで詩を暗唱しているのが彼女です。私は「jellyfish」というメタファーを愛し、強く共感しました。




“jellyfish” is the story of a girl spending her day at the seaside in a dimension where the sea is just a memory – it sadly doesn’t exist anymore.
She is overwhelmed by conflicted feelings ranging from anxiety to apparent calm.
The jellyfish are floating around her endlessly. The time is still, dried up like the sea.

I was inspired by a poetry of Roberta, a dear friend and part of our team (she recited the poetry on the video)
since I loved and intensely felt the metaphor of the jellyfish.

Currently writing his very first movie.
