Residual emotions manifest into an ecosystem, feeding the wheel of destruction (the tower XVI) & rebirth (the star XVII). Cycle after cycle, the womb seeks to purify itself. The Womb Was a Tomb: Transmutation of Sexual Violence is a 3D short film that dissects the biological and emotional impact of sexual violence. Organs store emotions, beliefs, and memory in Eastern healing systems. The womb carries a psyche, recording the event and co-creating a grotesque landscape. Driven by the Tower and the Star in the tarot, the womb-tower collapses and transforms into a lighter form each time.
