物の哀れ
This project aimed to look at overfishing of tuna, through the japanese philosophy of Mono No Aware. Translated into english this ideology means “Empathy of things”. I created three poems which came together to make a short film. The goal was to evoke empathy from the viewers, using visual effects and movement to express the content. The poems were written by me, and are about the three stages of the tuna’s life cycle: from being caught, auctioned, and cut up. Link to video: https://vimeo.com/243802443
