    A mysterious box arriving at the door disturbs Salini’s peaceful routine leaving her paralysed and obsessed with discovering the contents of the box. I poured so much of myself into this project and have fallen in love with stop motion as well as the weird and wonderful world that Salini lives in during this process. The patience and care needed to create it has taught me a lot about the gentleness and love that we owe to ourselves and each other.
