Mossie Soppie is an animation project that I undertook to explore the idiosyncrasy of Africa as I know it. The idiom “one man's meat is another man's poison” is investigated when the tragic fate of a pair of “mossies” (a type of sparrow) turns out to be the good fortune of the roadside “sop” (soup) vender. It was important for me to capture the harsh reality in a humorous way.
