about The Wave project
Additional Information
The "Wave" project is a piece conveying the feelings of isolation and struggle. Depression & Anxiety can feel as though we are under water and cut off from our well being. During the Covid pandemic, many people struggled with lifestyle changes and mental health issues. Having a friend to lean on and open up too helps us to not feel so alone when struggle is present.
For this piece I would practice in my garage by working on my movement and painting as fast I could. In total, 5 ladies were created(see photos below). The final piece(5th one) was created on site along the shore line of Lake Michigan in Winthrop Harbor, IL at dawn. Project concept was a collaboration with Helainie Callahan, & myself. Evan Knutson filmed and did all the film editing. Helaina choreographed her part. The Music "Wave" by Beck, set the mood and tone of the piece.
