A child's transitional object acts as a comforting guide, bridging her inner worlds to her external realities. This 16mm stop-motion animation uses traditional, mixed media techniques to explore a young girl’s bond with her stuffed snowman. Through childhood drawings, handcrafted sets, and tactile puppets, the girl and her snowman navigate through imagined landscapes of memories, fears, and dreams over a lifetime.
