A Lightness of Being: Catharsis, 3 channel HD video, 2013
The third and final part of A Lightness of Being is Catharsis or release. The industrial sheet of glass as a metaphor for the human interface with the natural world, the seemingly touch yet fragile membrane protecting humans from the forces of nature but not protecting nature from the excesses of humanity. I use light as a symbol of hope and beauty, to balance the brutality of smashing glass and to capture crystalline moments of fracture. The light illuminates the potential of transformation, a call to action.
