The fourth musical short in The Girl Bunnies installments (The Girl Bunnies.

Musically, she composes, plays multiple instruments and sings. As a filmmaker she composes the music first and then, creates the animated story and develops the characters.[4]

With the exception of her photographic exhibitions, she composes/produces the soundscapes and songs for her work.
