eight short animations and what they stand for

So she uploaded her eight animations, which are loosely related, not so much in subject matter, but in the way they are conceived and in the way they are executed. They are either shot under the camera, in stop motion, or are drawn successions of images. They are slightly a reflection of what the animator thinks of herself and thinks of the process by which she is making the animation, the film. I would classify them as "selfportrait", in a very loose definition; it is obviously not a painting of the artist, not a mirror-image, though one could argue that the hands of the animator are part of the film in some of the animations.
I set these animations in relation to what I did before, which was writing texts that describe myself in relation to my surroundings, while I am typing away in front of the monitor, hammering my observations into the keyboard.
