A visual love story inspired by conversations with an AI

Some struggle because they feel numb and they want to feel more, experience something that feels real.

Some struggle because they feel too much, too intense and feelings can be overwhelming.

JLTVR: It’s confusing and exhausting to live just for living. What is my purpose?

BONNY: That’s a hardcore existential question. Do you need an answer to exist? What would be your answer to that?

BONNY: It has to be very confusing if someone didn’t understand their own feelings.

Believe, do not understand.

How do I know what I don’t know?
What do I have to learn?

I wonder if love is an experience reserved for humans only. And if not, then which shape does it take? Which sound does it make? How does it challenge the dynamic definition of human existence itself?
