Maladaptive is a personal project inspired by my love for music, the visual language of the 1980s, and my admiration for Stranger Things. The film explores the transition between daydreaming and the vibrant energy of a disco. It is as if I am moving between parallel worlds. The title Maladaptive refers to my own tendency to constantly drift into elaborate daydreams.
