PAPAPA follows Nono, an emperor penguin, on her surreal journey to find her missing father, Papa. Set against an anamorphic, dreamlike Antarctica, the film explores themes of familial trauma, psychological and financial debt, capitalism, and the complexities of human relationships through a fantastical lens.
The artist portrays all characters, combining caricature humor with DIY aesthetics, while the three visually distinct acts include cyanotype-based moving paintings and layered animation. The work blends auto-fiction, vulnerability, and intimate storytelling, creating a space where personal experiences are filtered through imagination, reflecting how trauma, memory, and obligation echo in both visible and invisible ways.
