FIGHT OR FLIGHT

Fight or Flight is a continuation of my Holding Pattern video series that centers around the theme of resistance, control and surrender. Fight or Flight features a bound figure in flight, held in position by cloths that continue off-screen to an unrevealed source. This unknown source points to whether or not the figure is in a consensual position with the goal of exploring what one may feel bound or liberated by, and what choices may be involved in those conditions. The universality of experiencing internal and external limitations, discomfort and anxiety in ones own skin and the trappings of mind contrasted by determination, liberation of spirit and the power of thought are explored. Ultimately this series aims to investigate how much power we possess over our own lives. In fixed, stationary conditions, static states conjoin kinetic impulses.
