About KALI
This original short story is my retelling of a story my grandmother told me when I was a child. It is a love letter to the woman who shaped my character.
How it was made: told by a synthetic voice (ElevenLabs), with pictures made for this telling and animated in the browser. Every spoken word was checked against the text, which is unchanged.
