During a period of isolation, I returned to recordings of stories told by my grandmother, who shares episodes from her youth without sentimentality.
Using home movies from her life and my own as the base for handmade animation loops, I repetitively and obsessively listened and drew,
while lingering in the feeling of what it means to be stuck.
