video and performance

In November of 2020, at the height of the pandemic and my final semester of art school, I decided to scream everyday, record it, and upload them to video sharing platform and online hellscape, TikTok.
Screaming is something almost everyone is capable of, but when do we get a chance to do it? I wanted to create a space for myself to have this catharsis, to be loud and scary. In a period of time where I truly felt helpless I found something to do everyday, I found creative release.

I was interested in having the shots be recognizable but unusual, the colour and light sucked out of whatever space I was in, sometimes my own form being unrecognizable.
In allowing myself a moment to breathe deeply and let out the anxiety that builds like hard water in my body, I have experienced a personal revolution.
