Juxtaposing Imagery to Tell a Bigger Story

“[22:36] With the cartoon characters, it’s just symbolic of the cultural muse.  It's like pop culture, like the muse that keeps us entertained and distracted. And I'm kind of pairing that with just very serious, deep, kind of heavy themes, and symbols as well. So… I kind of am playing with that… extreme contrast of different ends of the spectrum, between like funny, frivolous, just pointless, silly cartoons, with… heavy themes of… environmental destruction. Or…human mortality, and… trying to come to terms with our existence here.”
