Paper short abstract:

During lockdown, I created this short drama using extracts from voice messages on my Whatsapp and footage that I accumulated on my phone's camera memory. The aim was to create a narrative that touches upon the themes of nostalgia and future possibilities during times which are certainly uncertain.

During lockdown I was inspired to use random footage which I have accumulated on my phone's memory alongside bits and pieces of many people's words extracted from voice messages they've shared with me, to create a short drama which touches upon the themes of everyday nostalgia, of desire to travel and to meet as well as to explore possible futures within diverse geographies.
