The Funeral of My Non-Virtual Self

3D Animation · Character Performance

The first animation featuring the characters of Ciudad de Pájaro, this work explores the relationship between physical and virtual identity through a symbolic funeral. The protagonist embodies a version of myself shaped by digital existence, while the characters inhabit a world in which the boundary between the online self and the physical body begins to dissolve.

The funeral

Rather than celebrating this transformation, the animation reflects on its emotional cost. The funeral becomes a metaphor for the gradual disappearance of the non-virtual self, questioning what is lost as digital presence becomes increasingly inseparable from lived experience.
