Best Fishes (Sea You Later)
Lucy Meldrum
I have made an animation to communicate the feeling of self-alienation you experience when your environment isn't built for you and how the onus for making accommodations is placed on the individual rather than the collective. I have explored this idea through an underwater world; making the environment strange, rather than the othered individual. The water becomes a membrane, the scuba suit a barrier between the self and the world.
