Created using simple text-animation/home-video titling tools, Happiness reveals a single word – HAPPINESS – as it repeatedly emerges from illegibility, spins, disappears and returns to a black screen. Happiness is both the title of the work and its only text, the seemingly unstable word presented as both an enigmatic linguistic fact and a question.
