Detour

Normative Futures- a Stop motion short film

"Detour" delves into the unexpected journeys we undertook in the past year, navigating our way through the pandemic with safety as our compass. As lockdowns affected nearly everyone's daily lives, this film offers a window into the evolution of my mental health during this transformative period. It chronicles the shift from the monotony of everyday routines to the freedom of travel and, conversely, the confinement within closed spaces for an extended duration. This cinematic exploration also prompts us to ponder whether this detour has become an entirely new path of its own.
