Abecedarian Obsession Archive
Prompt: Make an archive of abecedarian obsessions. Name one fascination or curiosity for each letter of the alphabet, beginning with A and ending with Z.

In this movie, I used Procreate, Ps, and Pr software. I created sample clips using stop- motion animation using reconstructed early DV video clips, animations, and photographs.
