A cute foil for humanity acting as an exploration of free-will and "space time", creating ambiguity around the concept of individualism by showing all of humanity`s cataclysms and culls being played along one linear timeline - inspired partly by the Bayeux Tapestry. "Cuties" asks whether we as a species are doomed to repeat the same violent cycles of decimation and rebirth within our societies at large - as history would seem to indicate. Is annihilation woven into the fabric of our DNA? Or will our next evolutionary leap transcend humanity into a collective consciousness; a world-wide singularity. For now, you can witness countless atrocities committed by a homogenised (and rather cute) human that asks the question, are we all one entity experiencing life subjectively and if so why are we so cruel to ourselves?
