The Rani of Jhansi

Bonds
A woman hurls herself repeatedly against an imaginary wall... three men trapped in a box, colliding in a pattern that shifts, almost imperceptibly as the friction between them increases until they reach a boiling point.. two women are bound in an embrace, struggling to separate, yet each grasping the other...

Drawing on images and concepts from Quantum Mechanics, Physics and Chemistry, this project explores the metaphysical through the physical. Bonds is an exercise in awe at the terrifying complexity the universe.
Currently in development.
