Rituals of a Grieving Body
Why do we isolate ourselves at the moments we need connection the most?
A reflective portrait of a woman navigating life in New York City, this film traces her evolving relationship with loneliness in the digital age. It examines how our collective pursuit for connection through technology has become an inescapable loop, one where the systems we’ve built increasingly mirror our own contradictions. Through the interplay of natural v.s. technological patterns, the story explores the cyclical nature of self-destruction. At its heart, it is a meditation on complicity and control: how individuals knowingly return to the very technologies that harm them, and how humanity, in turn, condemns the machine for reflecting what we ourselves have created.
