Watching: Broken Glass

Overview

Broken Glass is the name of a jelly dessert beloved by the filmmaker's daughter. The film begins as a simple cooking video and gradually unfolds into a zoetrope-cake animation experiment, accompanied by the author's reflection on her childbirth experience. As motherhood challenges the self-destructive perfectionism deeply ingrained in her creative process, she searches for a gentler way back to artistic practice within the routines of meal preparation - one that embraces imperfection, vulnerability and transience.
