This confusing work, as some have describe it is just that, confusing. The stop motion animation, Individual Focus (video link here) attempts to look at the larger idea of being self centered. And while it is true that all of us, to a certain extent, have left enough of this trait behind in our childhood to view the world, we still have a some of that characteristic as adults.
The video uses polymer clay to represent individuals and the wire and branches as the foundation upon which we build connections. It follows the path of one such “individual” along a story-like path, encountering (or losing) others, forming connections, and broadening their world. There are many emotions expressed throughout. Such as loss when some of the encountered others vanish or move to the side and seem to melt. Or fear as the individual moves to see more of the world, and the background begins to tear apart.
