Unsound (2022)

08 September, 2022
Living through a pandemic for the past two years has shifted my life from one of stability and security to a blur of moments accompanied by a lost sense of time and purpose. This sentiment, paired with my own mental state during the past few years, has made me question my own psyche. I felt as if I was losing grip on my own reality and inner environment, succumbing to a daze in which I felt outside of myself. Unsure of how else to deal with these feelings and wondering if they extended to anyone else, I decided to channel this part of my life and wellbeing as a short film.
My goal for this project is not to scare or trigger anyone when viewing, but to act as a visual and auditory experience of what it can be like to simply navigate a clear, straight path (whether that is in a physical or mental sense) yet face self-created obstacles that make the path less easy to take. I hope this project gives some insight not only into how I have felt throughout the pandemic as I learn to live with my own mental well-being but also to connect with others and experience it with them in solidarity.
This film was later developed into a physical installation in which the audience was invited to view the film at the end of a tunnel, immersing them in my inner environment.
