Carrots Don't Wait
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. (Source: Geidai Animation)
