Build

A short film that explores the relentless cycle of construction and demolition driven by human consumption. The animation draws inspiration from the city of Kobe, which rebuilt itself in just five years after a devastating earthquake. Through abstract and symbolic imagery, it depicts the never-ending process of building and tearing down, reflecting the constant flux of urban life.

The work was created for people of any generation, aiming to provoke thought about the society of materialism and its consequences. It captures the fear of a world where objects and structures are disposable, always replaced by newer versions. The film questions whether true progress is possible when everything is temporary, and whether humanity is trapped in a loop of creation and destruction.

Set against the backdrop of a reconstructed disaster area, the animation serves as a meditation on recovery, loss, and the human tendency to consume without end. It invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with material goods and the environment.
