Ninjin wa Matte Kurenai

Graduation work of Lina Machida at Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai), 2023.

That stray dog that the girl loved so much wanted an apple for a long time. Meanwhile, the carrots try to turn everything into a seedbed. The girl opens the box and leaves with the dog because they know that decay is inevitable.

This animation captures a moment of overlapping birth and death.
