The Amygdala is one of two almond-shaped clusters of nuclei located deep and medially within the temporal lobes of the brain’s cerebrum in complex vertebrates, including humans. Shown to perform a primary role in the processing of memory, decision making, and emotional responses (including fear, anxiety, and aggression), the amygdalae are considered part of the limbic system.

Growing from an idea of building an empathy machine, this work  explores our capacity to connect both with ourselves and the filmic image. We travel in the tension between us and the other and between the feeling of safety and a dark movement.
