MOREBlato je zgodba o izvoru življenja, v kateri ženska izoblikuje samo sebe iz naravnega materiala – iz tekocega blata, ki je nasičen s čutnostjo, prožnostjo in kreativnim potencialom. Zgodba je tudi pripoved o razmerju med prosto spreminjajoco se naravo in določenostjo s kulturo ter soobstoju obeh elementov v eni osebi.
Motiv igranega video dela je avtorski prikaz mita o kreaciji ženske, ki vstane iz živega blata in stopi na pot transformacije oziroma civiliziranja. Video spremljajo terenski posnetki brbotanja blata, šelestenja posušenega blata in žuborenja vode, ki zaznamuje katarzični trenutek na poti preobrazbe. Kamera večinoma snema bližnje posnetke, manjši del pa je posnet z oddaljenim kadrom, v katerem je igralka zgolj del narave. Kamera vzpostavi protislovje med popolnoma "necivilizirano" z blatom obdano žensko snemano z bližnjimi posnetki in popolnoma "civilizirano" oblečeno žensko, ki je zgolj manjši element v naravi.
OPOMBA: Na željo avtorice spletni arhiv Postaje DIVA predstavlja zgolj krajše odlomke. Celotni video hranimo in je na ogled v mediateki Postaje DIVA na Metelkovi 6 v Ljubljani.
