2001 This movie depicts the soul's journey through life. It takes us from the inner-most reaches of the psyche to the outer, material world. The soul is born into the form of body, into the world of things, then melts back into the void. The figure transforms as she makes this journey. She leaves us in the end. The leaf is a symbol of change, a transition image that serves to sew the segments of the movie together. Contained in this small and perfect form is the full meaning of the cycle of life and death. The movie plays on a small screen set into the back of a handcrafted miniature stage. |
