Separation

After radically changing the direction of my work, I decided to explore my previous ideas of division and detachment through the word 'separation'. It was at this stage in the final major project that I decided to experiment with poetic ways of conveying separation and internal displacement, initially by dividing objects that were tricky to separate. After much thought, I decided to carefully select a subject to film while trying to break apart salt or water; two of the most difficult substances to order. This also ties into my previous idea of the chaos in order, which correlates with my overriding theme of separation and internal divisions. The subject would additionally have to represent separation or division in some shape or form, and thus I was compelled to search for an appropriate individual who was very personal to me. In addition, I may add an audio track to the footage, however I do not want to give the audience a distraction from the film and the installation in which the film will be shown.
