"ToMe2", an experimental film about self-love by artist and dancer Maria Martinez, followed by a Q&A with the team behind it.

"This video performance piece is based on the idea of love, care, and the self. By creating a cast of my body, I gave body to the external perspective of what it's like to take care of myself. With this project, I aim to make people intrigued by the weirdness that this video conveys regarding obsessive caring, and make them reflect on how natural caring should be." - Maria Martinez
