Terra Incognita

A visual monologue. A woman’s life grind to a halt with the gradual deterioration of her grandfather. An inevitable future of machines and medication haunts her as she escapes on a spiritual quest to grapple with her temporal flesh. It explores issues of uncertainty, loss, memory and desire through a confrontation with a loss of mobility. “I see him there, lying on the bed, his body deformed. What was once upright had carved itself into the shape of the bed. I then realised the fragility of this body.
