Existo examines the tripod of meaning that guides how we intuitively apprehend and interpret the universe. Through this view, we interact with the world to create personal meaning. It is a poetic experience where our existence and its meaning emerges out of a relationship between our source, our work, and our mortality.

Elbow, Saskatchewan is a tiny village situated in Canada's middle prairie province. Every summer, a group of cousins visited their Grandmother in the quiet town where they enjoyed a playground of secluded beaches on an immense lake. This particular summer, however, the group stumbles onto the magical Mistaseni rock, a holy stone once worshipped by the Plains Cree aboriginals. The encounter hurdles them into a mythic adventure where they meet the peace-loving Mamekewsesuk tribe of the sand-hills and must face-off against the Young-Dogs of Elbow, a rogue tribe of aboriginals that kidnap the smallest of their group. This work combines a series of aboriginal myths, legends, and historical reports about The Elbow to tell the story of the Young-Dogs and how the cousins escaped the world of aboriginals to safely return to their Grandmother's house.
