Opus of the Handfoot is a surreal short film that follows a hybrid limb, part hand and part foot, through a ritual journey of creation and endurance.
The sculpture is shaped by a brotherhood of artisans who treat it not as an object, but as a living emissary. Before it can leave the world, it must travel through rivers, mountains and barren plains, where storms, water and erosion reveal both its strength and its fragility.

The film explores the quiet tension between imagination and reality, and reflects on what remains after the act of making.
It is a meditation on creation, vulnerability and the strange beauty that emerges when something is tested by the world before it is allowed to move beyond it.
