Project Amelia: Take Control. A woman's face is split into several panels which feature different emotions - frustration, peace, satisfaction, and aggression. As the video progresses the panels change and glitch.

The world moves fast. Every day there’s a new crisis, a new gadget, a new diet, a new obligation.

What if responsibilities weren’t yours alone?
