A short animation featuring an imaginary room that holds the traces of one’s life. From a woman’s room, her furniture is taken away, and what is left behind is a sunburned wall with traces of the furniture, and some dust piled up. This work delicately visualizes the fading of memories over the course of time, and leaves space for the viewer to think about the meaning of this emptiness.
