I don’t understand the words you use is a three-screen 3D animation about a character trying to navigate the healthcare system. The work draws on the aesthetics and structure of the computer game genre of “platform games”, where the character moves from left to right, confronting enemies and obstacles, and are often seen from a flat/straight-on perspective with a scrolling background environment. The storyline is based on the stories of three friends’ experiences of trying to maneuver through different departments of
the healthcare system.
