Now or Never (2024)

This film portrays images and stories based on my dreams from two consecutive nights. The animation on the left side is based on dreams collected on a night where I had consumed traditional Ethiopian meals throughout the day and slept on an Ethiopian flag pillow case. The animation on the right side is based on the collection of dreams from a night where I had consumed my usual diet and slept on an American flag pillow case. Dream fragments were voice recorded during short intervals of wakefulness throughout both nights.
