The Shape of Absence


The Shape of Absence is a paired exploration of the quiet distances between body, mind, and perception. Through two intimate dance scenes, the film moves through the isolating interior landscapes of mental illness and deafness, while also examining how disability shapes and unsettles identity. Together, these moments trace the subtle contours of absence - what is felt yet unseen, known yet difficult to name.
