I have created a stop-motion short film that traces the journey of a folk costume from the late 19th century, from its creation to its eventual repurposing into rags for cleaning floors. Utilizing materials like cardboard, clay, and fabric, my aim is to highlight the historical usage of the Orsa costume and its evolution.

This narrative elevates the historical perspective on the significance of craftsmanship, following a folk costume in its constant transformation and adaptation, from production to being cut into rags. It’s a meticulously crafted, ambitious, and touching work with strong narrative qualities, sensitively portraying complex issues related to nationalism, class, tradition, and craftsmanship.
