DOVES
Personal ProjectShort Film/ Visual Art
Launch Date: February 2014
The film takes place in a usual North American country home evident of various decades of renovations & comforts known to the common family. The home, representing a nesting place cannot hold the dove children and beckons them into the cornfield, outside, surrounding the home. Magical and wild, the never-ending cornfield holds no boundaries, exhibiting limitless play and escape for our three observed voyeurs.
Filmed from the perspective of a curious spectator, we are taken to follow the Dove children. Bird-like costumes made from materials recognizable to North American culture and fragile paper headpieces from various wing-like shapes represent parallels between the symbol of ethereal freedom in dove birds and child’s play.
