Misophonia
Misophonia is a risograph animated project designed to unsettle the audience through combined sounds and visuals. This project is inspired by an aural disorder and intends to distress the audience with a soundscape composed of these trigger noises and accompanying visuals through risograph animation. In an era where individuals, especially in Malta, are constantly bombarded from every side by an excess of noise pollution that infringes on their personal space and peace, this project highlights that even the most innocuous sounds can influence people, more than we might ever realize.
