I am not sure what connection I saw/felt between the two root images in this animation. Perhaps what it came down to was that both Joseph Conti and Stormy Leather are invented characters, both invented from within. Does the fact that Stormy Leather performs in the flesh on stage make her more real than Joseph Conti who is represented only through images? Certainly images are illusions, but then again so are performances. I call the animation Emergence because it did just that: emerge.
Animation duration: 26.6 seconds, before looping.
