As the moulds grow, they alter the dyes in the photographic prints, resulting in chromatic distortion. These clips are accom-panied by an original musical composition, and are part of a larger series exploring the importance of decom-posing organisms, the fragility of the human condition and the cyclical nature of existence, with death giving birth to new life.
