Pensarpensarpensar (overthinkoverthinkoverthink) is a video-collage made into animation (stop motion).
This artwork is an attempt of showing visually a little bit of the state of anxiety and overthinking. In spanish there’s a common phrase “darle vueltas a las cosas”, it means that this emotion is sometimes manifested as a spiral of thought, or a thought spinning around the head, constantly repeating itself. I try to represent this by this collage and the action of repetition, as the anxious mind also repeats a same thought even from different angles as it is able to, without giving us a concrete solution, most of the time it only makes an increasingly accumulation of thoughts.
