Daynid Inch
Fariborz tells his story through objects, portraying himself as a character who journeys into a dreamlike world where everyone is the same height. This concept stems from his personal experience as a shorter individual in a society that often judges people based on appearance and conventional beauty standards. In this dream world, Fariborz revisits the memory of being 16 and realizing he would no longer grow taller. He escapes into a secret realm where everyone shares his height. Using everyday items like batteries, toys, and dominoes as characters, he brings the scene to life, with live footage displayed through a real-time camera.
