Greenings (2015)
Is everything around us toxic? Greenings shows the struggles of eco-anxiety, with the strange feeling that cleanliness pollutes, with conflicting notions of what constitutes the feminine realm, and ultimately what seems a recipe for failure. Based on a score inspired by list of ingredients in household cleaning items. Greenings deals with OCD, failure, and the very real feeling that the world might be falling apart.
