This six-minute VHS experiment weaves live action, stop-motion, and handmade sound into a fairy tale. A child fashions a dog from soil and song, granting it body and soul. When the creature cannot meet her demands, she turns to science with unseHling results. The film reflects on creation as both an act of intimacy and of violence, exposing the arrogance embedded in humanity’s relationship with nature.
