Abstract
TURBULENT integrates found footage of scientific animation clips, old tapes, and photography. It explores life and death at the macroscopic level while touching upon basic intrinsic values, i.e. the pathos and ethoss of both pro-choice and pro-life stances towards abortion. The contrastive juxtaposition of reality and the imaginary creates narrative thickness of the montage sequence. The perspectives of the first-person and the third-person presented create multiple layers of the conscious and subconscious levels. The fetus as the main icon, mother, and woman weave through my work to open up the many perspective viewers may take.
