"A story is waiting to be materialized. During the period of incubation, it traverses all the things it can be, all the things it strives to be. Collecting fragments of meaning and following lures, a theoretical exploration marks the beginning of a plotline of self-interrogation."

Story-Telling-Stories is a multimedia art project by Iulia Radu. For this project, I created the short CGI film All the Things It Strives to Be under her creative direction, with music composed by Rami Abadir.

The video takes the form of a first-person exploration along a wooden pier. This perspective invites the viewer to identify with the unseen character — a fiction still in the process of becoming. The setting, a quiet pier surrounded by water, was inspired by recurring elements from the story, such as artificial flies and scattered pebbles.
