Not Home

“Not Home” is a visualization of a poem about being taken away from home to live in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable setting; one where most would never choose to be. In an attempt to capture this distinct experience, clips of nature’s stillness and movement are intertwined with elements specific to the poem. At various points, multiple layers of sound are compiled on top of each other in order to slightly mimic overwhelming stimulation. The tone is one of sadness, loneliness, and despair, with a sense of togetherness in holding onto the best of a difficult situation. Audiences can find something within this that they relate to and “reminisce” in, or they will be presented with an entirely unfamiliar, and possibly uncomfortable, story (which actually works just as well).

I believe that to have creativity means to have the ability to freely depict and address opinions, thoughts, and emotions through non mechanized forms of expression. Being a creative person means being someone who thinks beyond an instructor’s directions and/or defies what is “logical.” Creativity’s powerful. Creativity is our future.
