aquest (no) és el teu oceà (2024)
[ this is (not) your ocean ]
Queer bodies attract, fall in love, falter, perish. Are our bodies more vulnerable, and therefore our loves, too? A poetic video letter; a critical research essay; an intimate experiment of image and sound, of heart, head and hormones; and a loving ode to those who have passed on before memories together could be made.
