¿Cómo te sientas? ¿Cómo te sientes?

“We need to talk” This is the story about Adam and Ego, and it’s about how everything is falling apart, yet they refuse to let go. In the scene, you see violent moments and tearful ones, harsh words that taste like bile, swords and wounds, blinding lights, and cruel stares. It is emotion-packed and messy, in saturated colors, a plot line that feels too shiny and blurry on the edges to be truthful. This is just a story, names changed, words verbatim, situations closing on fantasies. This is how some things could have gone down between us, but thankfully, they didn’t. “Do we now?”.

¿Cómo te sientas? ¿Cómo te sientes? (in spanish How do you sit? How do you feel?) is an exploration of visual metaphors within a non-verbal narrative. It tells the story of Adam and Ego, and how they navigate their convoluted relationship in the search for closure.
