Synopsis
A series of slides alternating with short animations evokes the digital aesthetics of the early 2000s. The messages, blending audiovisual and literary language, playfully mock the romantic communication forms of the blog era while maintaining an underlying sincerity and truth. The author aims to communicate in a style that mixes nostalgia and the grotesque, playing with contrasts between a light tone and the authenticity of the emotions expressed, offering a reflection on how the expression of feelings has evolved in the digital age.
