The Space Between Us
The Space Between Us is an animated short depicting the difficulty of a long-distance relationship.
The Space Between Us follows a woman as she navigates everyday life in the absence of her other half. Life alone is quiet and empty- until her other half returns, filling her surroundings with colour.
However, something feels awry- what bridges their distance leaves something to be desired, and she cannot help but fear a stark crash back to her lonely reality.
Through its use of juxtaposition in colour, style, and soundscape, The Space Between Us explores both the mundanity of everyday domesticities and the excitement moments of passion bring.
In a time where circumstances have forced us into isolation, it navigates loneliness, melancholy, and the uncanniness of human connections maintained by modern technology.
