Synopsis

Three stop-frame animations made on the floor of my London flat using water, cardboard and home-made slime. Watermeadow, bog-eye & mudflats were made over a long period of time. The project was pulled together during successive pandemic lock-downs whilst imagining wide open marshland, swamps and mires of different kinds.

A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
