One example is her short film Awkward, in which a series of everyday situations, largely uncomfortable ones, unfold and are stripped of their formal and severe tone in order to be drawn and animated with grace and a touch of irony. Two people arrive at a street corner, bump into each other, and choreograph a mirrored dance to disentangle themselves. A young woman feels embarrassed when she realizes that the greeting she is returning from another woman was not meant for her. On a subway train, a woman’s head falls off as she tries to sneak a look at what the passenger next to her is reading. A casually dressed young man feels ashamed as he tries to walk past a group of elegantly dressed people and a photographer who seem to be observing a banana as a work of art, suggesting a reference to Comedian by Maurizio Cattelan.

And the intention behind her GIFs continues along the same lines. A young woman sitting in a park turns her gaze backward, and the landscape only appears when she rests her eyes upon it, disappearing when she looks away (we wonder here whether the world exists only in that upon which we fix our gaze). A horse gracefully traverses the rectangular frame that contains it, defying gravity. An Akita dog stretches excessively—like a rubber toy—as it moves forward in its walk.
