A Toad Crossing the Road

2026

35mm film animation

1min 22sec

A toad is trying to cross a road that cuts through its natural habitat. Like many amphibian species, it is especially vulnerable because it lives at the edge of its natural range, where environmental conditions are already challenging.

Exhibited in the Rotor 2 Gallery at HDK Valand exhibition Good Soup (2026).

Selected for the Labocine June 2026 issue BORDERS.
