The name of this entry sums up nicely this devastating occurrence. The fact that it happened on my birthday, was also unfortunate, to say the least. Anyhow, after a few days of mourning I was able to get myself together, however, I am not able to recuperate countless hours of work.
Due to this little incident I find it appropriate to give a summary of what I had been working on the past week or so before it was stolen.
After experimenting with different ways of using media and trying to metaphorically relate to breath, I decided to take a similar approach as I did in my drawing work. I began focusing on video works more than anything else, and literally depicting breath, making a few short clips that explored camera angles and imagery.
This is one of the only works salvaged (saved in my phone) from before I began focusing on only moving image, it was also one the first ones which I filmed. The short clip featured me blowing on to the paper, blowing the indian ink across the page, in all directions and into the floor. In my opinion, the video was far more interesting and successful, specially in developing my ideas around breath.
