The current pandemic has forced modern human beings into an ever-isolated state than we’ve ever been in the near decades due to lockdowns that were enforced in various parts of the world. This brings the world and me included to reflect on the ultimate meaning of freedom. What does freedom mean to us living in this modern world? As such, in this project, I explored freedom through different representations of our modern world.
The movement of a ballet dancer, soaring white dove, and jellyfish were among my research subjects. A ballet dancer gracefully manoeuvring his or her limbs to express her inner emotions with artistic freedom. A white dove gliding over the wind and clouds like a free soul, ready to begin the ballet of the eventide. A jellyfish, the medusa of the sea with seemingly gorgeous looking yet deceptively poisonous tentacles, pulsing through the sea so elegantly with ballet-like motions.
