Without realizing it we make assumptions about the world around us every day. Often times we share those assumptions with those around us and present others with our perceptions and experiences. But how much of an effect does what we share have on the perceptions of others. How does what we say influence those around us. How have we been influenced by others? This work is about becoming more aware and conscious about our own perceptions. I know that all throughout my life I have been affected by how people perceive me based on information they were presented by others. Whether we intend to or not, the words we say about others can and will affect how people perceive that person.
By using a video clip format, I create a moment that is incomplete. Not a full narrative yet not a still image. It represents the fragmented information we observe of the lives of others and creates a lack of context to the bigger story. Thus, allowing for the viewer to build make their own inferences about the character they see.
That this work is an excellent opportunity to bring to light the power of our words. It is important that we begin to evaluate the things we say and how even the smallest statements we make can affect how someone else may view a person鈥檚 situation.
