Rootless is an animated short based on photographs, reflecting upon memory processing of a lost home. The location goes through a transition from present to absent, to eventually become an object of memory. While soundscapes are repeated to a point where technological errors make an imprint, struggling to recall its presence. As the house becomes distant, traveling and fading into time.
