'Wave 3 (Cancelled?)' explores a neurodivergent perspective, following someone who imagines everyone in their life as characters in an action figure line.

Friends - family - lovers - acquaintances; all are transformed, as if extraordinary fictional characters, represented in waves of figurines.

Neurodiversity is reflected in a number of characters, who represent how people can simply exist a little differently; being as wonderful and peculiar as they wish.
