Sacrifice
December 2023 – February 2024 
Based on a short story from Tyrese Coleman’s How to Sit: A Memoir in Stories and Essays, Sacrifice follows a college-age daughter navigating a tense reunion with her mother, whom she has just bailed out of jail. Their conflicting memories of the past and differing expectations for the future — centered on the impending auction of the daughter's belongings and the threat to her graduation — create a space marked by silence rather than empathy. Through unshaded graphite linework and ambient sound, the animation conveys the fragility and emotional strain of their interaction. Still frames and close-up facial shots emphasize the limited perspective each character holds, both visually and emotionally.
