I tested out natural breakdown of unfired sculpture with this piece to see if it fits with this project.
Here's a short film I've made concluding the 1.5 hour process and the bubbling sound it creates is so fascinating to me. The last 3 frames are just photographs instead of footages and I really enjoyed the static feeling of them, which I might use in the final film.
I made this knee hugging girl cause I was so so overwhelmed by the world during that time I wanted to curl into a ball and ignore everything, I couldn't sleep at night and occasionally during lectures or tutorials I'd have fake panic attacks, which were actually just a pre warning to a breakdown that I'll have afterwards.
I didn't like the figurine and the pot I've made and it felt right to break them back to clay. The narrative of emotionally drowning then breaking down came through during the recording. I wouldn't say this helped much with the situation but being able to take some of those emotions out with this piece and the short film did ease that a bit. Also the incredible support I've got from peers I've shown this to made me feel so warm. Thanks guys I love you muah.
