lucid (2022)

lucid (2022) is a short dance film illustrating the idea of where our subconscious mind goes when we are dreaming. It aims to create the feeling of a liminal space, and create a tone of anxiety and aims to make the viewer feel uneasy. lucid urges the viewer to question the parts of their minds they don't understand and how that plays into their identity.

This concept is something I’ve been wanting to illustrate for a really long time and I’m so glad I was able to finally bring it to life. I often think about where the lines are blurred between our subconscious and conscious mind and how that manifests in the state of dreaming. This past year I have been trying to write down my dreams whenever I remember them, and trying to find whatever hidden subconscious messages are playing out while I’m asleep. Although I can’t say I’ve discovered anything groundbreaking, I can say I’ve found a lot to think about and reflect on. This film is really special to me, and I hope it gives you something to think about.
