PANDEMIC

​

MEDIUM: STAPLES, VIDEO EDITING

​

USING STAPLES AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO WIRE FOR AN AT-HOME JEWELRY PROJECT DUE TO A LACK OF SUPPLIES, I BECAME FASCINATED BY HOW SMALL YET STRONG AND VERSATILE STAPLES WERE. I FURTHER EXPLORED STAPLES AS A MEDIUM, CREATING A STOP MOTION VIDEO REPRESENTING HOW “DISPOSABLE” INDIVIDUALS ARE MADE OUT TO BE IN OUR SOCIETY (ESPECIALLY DURING THE PANDEMIC). THROUGH THE USE OF STAPLES, I CREATED AN INSPIRING VISUAL STORY THAT CAPTURED THE STRUGGLES OF THE SEEMINGLY INSIGNIFICANT INDIVIDUAL THAT ARE FORGOTTEN ON THE SCALE OF THE LARGE WORLD. THESE SMALL INDIVIDUALS ARE ALL INCREDIBLY STRONG, AND A UNIFIED EFFORT BETWEEN THESE INDIVIDUALS IS WHAT ULTIMATELY CREATES CULTURE AND PROGRESS.
