PROOF 4 LIFE

Using poignant symbolism, the original animated short Proof 4 Life documents the life-crossing experiences of the author during a two-year spiritual and psychological travail called Covid.

Proof 4 Life starts simply and uneventfully enough, with a road trip. A family of five is traveling alongside a proverbial river-like road called Life. The family’s idyllic travels are soon met with and displaced by a myriad of alarming, life-road hazard notifications accompanied by weeping, sorrow, by sadness, and human misery.

Toward the end of the saga, through perseverance and inspirational road-side messaging, the family’s quest toward absolution endures. And human resilience, such as it is, is again said to conquer all.

This seven-minute animation (the Proof 4 Life's simple yet eloquent animation technique was not produced in order to win Oscars; it was executed merely as a good-enough means to convey specific content) gives nod to the deep psychological grief experienced universally by many throughout the pandemic.

Most pointedly, Proof 4 Life does not contain a single image of the Covid virus. The word Covid is significantly not present, either. (There are glimpses of the word as part of an artist’s spiritually interpreted artistic presentation, Latamba; however, those glimpses are immediately counterbalanced by - according to the artist - the spirit-world's correct word for Covid - Latamba.)

If as you are watching this animation images of Covid and related trauma accumulated during the past two years still continue to circle through your brain all the same, you are likely psychologically still afflicted by Covid - whether the physical virus itself is of any threat to you or not.

Watch Proof 4 Life again and again until your psychologically induced Covid images begin to spiritually disintegrate and become covered by the Green Object in the art poster titled Victory, first on display at 3 minutes 51 seconds of this animation.

Absorb the Green Object's powers until your own spiritual healings start to take hold.

Share Proof 4 Life with anyone whom has been infected with the psychological ravages of Covid.

Latamba.

Thank you.
