Duties of My Heart
1997 · 11 min · Drama
A hybrid short film that merges American Sign Language, contemporary dance, and poetry to tell a deeply personal story about expression, resilience, and the emotional weight of language. Drawing visual inspiration from the experimental dance films of the 1940s, the piece centers a Deaf protagonist whose inner world is revealed not through words, but through movement.
