Cradle My Head video
Cradle My Head is about doing your best with what you have and living up to your full potential. Most importantly, it’s about never giving up, because you never know what will come your way and when it will happen. Although I have mainly focused on alternative, black and white, and digital photography in the past, this video project stems from being unable to fully convey the intensity of my seizure experiences with still images. Initially, my project was about wanting to show others how I see the world when I seize, and in turn, also seeing myself as others see me when it happens. It was extraordinary seeing it for the first time through the eyes of a spectator, but I realized that sequential shots can only convey so much about this experience. Video helped me add a temporal dimension to my work, and it also enabled me to incorporate audio, a facet that has greatly enhanced its emotional charge and stark reality.
