In my video, I tried to convey how I feel when I am faced with the ideation process.
The artwork "DROWNING" represents the process of creation as creation itself.
The character, who would represent the artist, goes through a metaphorical journey to understand what it means for him to create and the difficulties he has to face. During the video he talks to himself through a stream of consciousness.
This video is meant to bare the struggle of the artist with self-censorship and to deal with the overwhelming feeling of communicating in the best way the original idea.
I am so stuck with the ocean of things I could experiment with, express and the various ways I could do it that I feel overwhelmed. It's also compounded by the perfectionism with which I want to accomplish everything and the fear that my ideas aren't good enough and heartfelt enough. This overthinking and anxiety have ended up too many times blocking me and not fighting for my artistic ideas.
