THE ELEPHANT I FOUND UNDER MY SKIN

When Gali goes for her first breast ultrasound, she feels uncomfortable. She detaches herself from her breasts, hoping to escape the exam. To her surprise, she and her breasts are swallowed into a fantasy world. In this world, she is trying to escape her breasts as well as the exam but finds out she cannot leave until she becomes whole again.

This experience sparked a journey to explore my relationship with my body, delving into questions about pregnancy, bodily changes, and personal agency. Through "The Elephant," I aimed to visually and emotionally confront these inquiries, inviting viewers to contemplate their own connections to their bodies.

Additionally, I sought to advocate for regular health screenings, particularly for breast cancer, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing self-care despite any discomfort associated with medical procedures.
