After the end of her marriage, Aurora drifts through New York City searching for a version of herself she no longer recognizes.
Through reflections, fragmented memories, and shifting perspectives, Ripple explores the ways love, loss, and memory shape our understanding of who we are. As the city around her transforms through her changing emotional landscape, Aurora begins the difficult process of rebuilding herself in the aftermath of heartbreak.
Blending experimental imagery with intimate storytelling, Ripple is a meditation on identity, grief, and the possibility of renewal.
