A young girl prophesies the end of time as the American Southwest drifts between myth and disappearance. Tactile filmmaking becomes a handmade record of ecological loss. Applying water, soil, and salt from the desert directly onto film emulsion, the work renders the human imprint on a fragile landscape. Through gestures of time and material experimentation, we ask what it means to approach The End.
