huli is a hyperlinked narrative, a collection of strobed vignettes centered upon a single unnamed character in perpetual jumpcut. This is a story told through approximations, whose truth is ambient and lingers in neon half-frames, in weightless spaces suspended between when it happened once and when it happened again. This is a condition passed in circles, leaping over generation gaps, written into code and manifested in all the noises and ticks, glitches and fits.

“for mala and all the girls she met — the ones who fought back.”
