Tired and warm animal is a video installation that uses the human need of being accepted and seen as its premise. The social interactions of the narrator of the video work turn into the sheer panic of a pray animal. Being a part of a community is not simple or easily accessible, even if it is the basic need and want of so many animals. In the end, we all want to be loved, but the burden of being a human can make it more difficult.
