“Metabolism” is a short experimental film which examines the persistence of violence as it affects contemporary consciousness. Moving through landscapes and mediated imagery, the film explores the ongoing consequences of empire, present not as isolated events but as conditions shaping lived realities.
"Brave is the wreath and billow of my breath; let it swell your lungs and stir your heart with ardor. As the boundary between mind and world fades, stand with courage before the vast expanse."
A meditation on what it means to give and to tend, Catharsis moves through the bonds between femininity, the earth, and the quiet labour that sustains life. It finds beauty in abundance, and in the responsibility that runs through both the natural world and the roles we inherit.
