A collaborative project in 2021.
In a lonely city, two artists who work alone are inspired by each other’s artworks.
Lee sculpts in driftwood in a shared studio space at night. Ora builds sculptures from scrap metal by day.
Our two protagonists never meet, but their works inspire each other to connect.
This project won the Special Merit award in the Australian Effect and Animation Festival 2022 (short film category)
