“Dash and Dot” is a meditative work inspired by Conversations in the Womb and The Dash (Linda Ellis). The film follows Dash and Dot, twin beings who once shared a womb and continue to carry fragments of past lives, memories, and an ancestral presence that stays with Dash across lifetimes. Their bond becomes a way to explore connection, transition, and the echoes we bring with us between worlds.
