My practice revolves predominantly around anxiety. I aim to induce anxiety among my audience at an attempt to either make them sympathize with those dealing with anxiety or confront their own anxiety within a safe yet intense artform. My film follows a puppet trying to navigate life, unsure why it’s alone, desperately trying to find someone or something to help. This is reflective of anxiety and how alone you can feel. I feel as though I put my own emotions into the puppet, he simply became an extension of me. This film acts as a culmination of all the ideas and effort put into my work and is truly reflective of how you can lose yourself in anxiety.
