CYBORG REDUX
CHAIN REACTION. I AM CHAINED TO THE BODY I AM IN. IT WEARS HEAVU O MY LIMBS AND ON MY CHEST AND IN MY HEART. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THESE CHAINS WERE PLACED STRATEGICALLY IN MY DNA, MY GENETICS, IN MY HEART, AND IN MY BRAIN. THE CHAINLINK UMBILICAL CORD SAWED OFF AT BIRTH. EVERY CHAIN COMES WITH A MEMOTU. SOME ARE WORN AND TORN AFTER MANY YEARS OF WEAR AND TEAR, EVERY LINK HOLDING EVERYTHING TOGETHER BUT ALSO THREATENING TO BREAK AT A MOMENTS NOTICE. OTHERS ARE GLISTENING, BRAND NEW, AND UNBEKNOWING OF THE YEAR OF HARDSHIPS AHEAD. THESE CHAINS PROTECT ME AND DEFEND ME BUT THEY ALSO HOLD BE BACK THAT IS THE WEIGHT I H HAVE TO CARRY. THE OLD BALL AND CHAIN REFERS TO SOMETHING HOLDING YOU BACK, PREVENTING ESCAPING, A CRIPPLING ENCUMBRANCE. WHAT IS THAT SOMETHING IS SOMEONE AND THAT SOMEONE IS ME. I AM THE CHAIN NO LONGER THE BODY.
CYBORG ANIMATION
within this cyborg animation i wanted to give a sense of strength to my character. i heavily focused on the clarity of the objective by her gaze as she seeks to attack and then return to the same objective gaze after she makes her strike. with the setting i wanted it to feel ominous and isolating in reference to the isolation she feels within herself in the previous project.
