Elmo vs. Elmo

"Elmo vs. Elmo is a commentary on self-image in the age of social media. We try to put our best self forward on the different forums, but self-doubt, self-love and even self-hatred, can pit us against ourselves. The all-too-happy Elmo is placed in a cage-match with himself. Without manipulation by either Andrew or I, the two Elmos are switched on and they interact spontaneously. We thought this would result in an eternal wrestling match, but while they do wrestle at times, they also twitch, dance and, most often, tumble over in a ball of love-making."
