Theme: A Sense of Place-

This is an inquiry as an artist bound to the process of chronicling change and forecasting destruction, both internally and externally. The subject of my attempt at a galvanically moving retrospective is loss and grief (cause and effect) with ‘Sense of Place’. How intimate are we with our surroundings? Which objects remind us of home wherever we go and what kind of places make us feel like we belong? Do we move with unparalleled ease when navigating transitory stages in life to satisfy our nomadic desires or are we haunted by the remains of the past?

We name and consume all the places we’ve been to and all the people we’ve encountered. This is a contemporary concern for survival in society today. It is essential to tell the story of the survivor while retaining the core of the catastrophe of loss and grief. Although it may not be sustained and fully representative of the grandeur and grief of shifting worlds, beings and physical bodies, the doomed wilderness of our safe spaces and beyond are being constantly gnawed at with fear and so, it is territory worth exploring. Our sense of place does not need to be limited within the scope of people and places we are trying to escape. What makes one depart back to the evil thrills, pace and pollution of human experiences in which we found places that are idiosyncratic and all that special? The intricacies of our relationship with geography and relocation are brought forward into question. This film is an attempt to celebrate what inundates us, all things considered. Is our sense of place directly involved with identity? Will a loss of a sense of place trigger a loss in our ability to perceive and respond to events humanly, moving forward? Would a loss of homes, habitats and routines result in an identity obliteration? As such, I wish to investigate and bring alive the grandeur of transitory life periods combined with our sense of belonging and place with my film. A concrete example could be the reminiscing of a toxic relationship with materials, people and places all while wandering in life’s journey.

It is our right to name our sense of place and displacement however we deem so. However treacly and banal the details and supposed memories may seem when we try to appreciate the retrospective, I wish to push further, stroke by stroke, hue by hue, into the adequacy of sheer forms of the human condition and identity and produce a final work that flummoxes doubt, inquiry and reflection.
