hold on (03/2020): A black and white feminine figure reaches towards and away from the camera. The film uses found footage from the Luis Buñuel film Los Olvidados (The Forgotten) and open source images. The scene is framed by a still of water running in a sink. There is a transition to a receded version of the same scene framed by a blurred still from the scene, which cuts to a waterfall moving backwards in slow motion. The audio is heavy breathing and a reciting of the subtitles. This film was made during the COVID-19 quarantine.
