"Poor image," a term coined by filmmaker and artist Hito Steyerl in her essay In Defence of the Poor Image draws attention to the decaying quality of digital media due to its circulation on the internet. Loosely inspired by this, the Poor Image Collective hopes to incorporate the ideas of a decaying image and the messy reality of digital exhibition into the initial stages of filmmaking and production intentionally.

The project I made as my contribution to our 2021 'Secret Santa' project exchange. Each member anonymously wrote instructions for a different project which we pulled out of a hat. I don't remember what my prompt was, outside of some provocation to explore shapes.
