Perception is an important and underestimated feature of our lives. Notice how a comfortable supermarket, for example, when displayed in an unfamiliar manner, supports entirely new connotations and emotions. Even packaging, which we buy, use and then dispose of forever, has a new function; in this case, as hats. This piece is structured as if it were a dream, in which every conscious familiarity is portrayed to imply a new meaning- new thoughts --and the viewer, or dreamer perhaps, is forced to endure and consider a new perception on the norm. Ultimately, among the many sub-themes, the alternative vision supports the crux, which is how meat is viewed: edible and disposable slabs and lumps, when really, they are slaughtered corpses, beheaded and separated from their limbs, their fur or feathers stripped off prepared to be sold at a bargain price and then forgotten after a casual meal, if they were ever individually appreciated among the millions of other replicable victims in the first place. There are different ways of perceiving everything and this montage stimulates that thought.
