An Echoing Memory of a Tongue (2017)
Words are just sounds that we have ascribed meaning to. But words are finite, the sounds we can generate are probably not. "An Echoing Memory of a Tongue" is an experimental/abstract visual trace of a stutter, the struggle that a person with chronic stuttering carries through his speech in an act of communication. In this broken-narrative, hand painted imagery, the combination of visuals, voices and the music tries to reflect the dialectical intricacies of weight and freedom within this struggle. This animation was inspired by my own stuttering since childhood, which undermined my own speech-acts, spawning different kinds of limitation.
