During his fine-art studies, Ruben Cabenda experimented with installation, sculpture, performance, painting and animation. Animation increasingly became a central part of his practice because it can hold image, emotion, story and transformation at the same time.

That flexibility allows a subject to unfold rather than remain fixed, making animation especially suited to questions of memory, identity and historical change.
