"Breathe", January 2024
Final project of my freshman year of art school, encapsulating themes of my POC identity and relationship to my origin country. A man rides his rickshaw through the lively sites and scenes of Bangladesh, abstracted and represented in fantastical, illustrative ways.
With this project for Forum 2 on relational art, I guided my process with this quote: “Art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.” This video is a simulated experience of what it feels like to navigate daily life as a neurodivergent individual. In my case, a lot of that manifests in sensory processing issues, which sometimes inhibits my ability to function on a day-to-day basis. Life can go at a fast, overwhelming pace, and it’s important to breathe amidst the chaos. The video is broken up into two parts, guiding the viewer through a breathing exercise at the end.
