A silent choreography of touch, bloom, and undoing


Introduction

An experimental animation that explores the visceral,
symbolic, and often contradictory relationship between femininity and touch.
Rooted in feminist aesthetics and psychoanalytic theory,
the work reimagines the flower not merely as a botanical form, but as a complex metaphor for the body —
fertile, fragile, and historically over-coded with meanings projected by the gaze of others.
The tactile gestures rendered in this piece become acts of inquiry:
Where does sensuality end and violence begin? When is a touch an act of care, and when does it become control?
