Close up images of a swan are de-contextualised via repetition and framing; abstracting the natural form until it becomes a blank screen which the viewer can project their own meaning onto. The images are further abstracted through re-filming the bulb of the projector creating yet another surface tension. The delineation of recognisable forms almost dissolves into a pulsating swirl of darkness and light.
In depicting nature, or more importantly, using nature as a visual metaphor for the expression of human subjectivity, the luxurious images of a white swan preparing for flight repeatedly extending and folding its wings allow the viewer to contemplate the incongruence of moment.
