Loosely based on the theme “ten” this project, for me, was all about making connections between seemingly disparate elements and so I needed to create a narrative that would enhance this idea.

Therefore the quirky, and at times nonsensical, interactions between characters serve to seamlessly weave together their environment.

Stylistically the silhouettes, the text replacing dialogue, the jerky movement and the grainy “old film” texture coupled with the sound of an old street organ-grinder generates a nostalgic quality, while the bold contrasts of black, white and yellow give it a modern vitality.
