For this assignment we were to study the concepts of time, change, and movement. This is a self portrait following child loss. For the concept of change, I wanted to show the way my body changed following birth, and the emptiness of losing my son reflected in my empty belly. For time, I included a zoomed out shot of adjusting the frame rate to hasten and slow the flow of the milk, to reflect how time feels out of control during trauma and grief. For movement I wanted to try animating something, a process I was previously unfamiliar with. Video link: https://youtu.be/AHIpaHqWlxM
