One of the largest prejudice (pre-judgement) the world exhibits is that against the gender of women. Growing up female presents many of its own issues. Usually, it’s not until a female has passed middle age that she realizes how real and often hidden this sexism is.
At the cusp of old age, when her looks are gone, opportunities are few or no longer existent, and experiencing a consistent loss of friends, family and worldly connections, gives a conscious person pause to ask many questions; even as a newer prejudice appears: ageism, which occurs against all sexes of the elderly.
I made this film with these thoughts in mind, while a NEW YEAR was rolling in.
The elements the aquarium fish, parade dragons and statuary move in and out of material space and dream place, as the un-conscious is the bedrock of humans. The ripped, animal skin, coat leans into something deeper.
Color is used like a painter: a balance of opposites is indicated in the red & green vessels holding it. Blue is another thing.
