GOAL: Bridge the gap between body, sound, and visual communication. Aimed to push boundaries of emotional engagement and experimental art, challenging the Boston art's scene’s tendency to shy away from provocative ideas. I aimed to create a space where viewers could connect deeply with their own emotions, provoking thought and conversation. Through an experiential installation, I encouraged open interpretation, blending storytelling and sensory experience to inspire artists and audiences alike to embrace more emotionally resonant work.

VoiceOver by Kylie l’eplattenier
2023
IDEA: Based on a project based within performance art. Took this project in a more personal, vulnerable way - placing images of people who have impacted my life in any type of way across my torso, mirroring how they have impacted my heart and soul, and is now merely living on a physical body in a living and breathing way.

DIVE

2023
GOAL: Encapsulate theme of issue (17) in a video format. DIVE is all about the spearheading of life, the sinking that comes with it, and the ultimate floating and swimming you learn to do as a result. This direction was based around obsession and being so in your work, a person, your thoughts, etc. that you can’t separate it from the rest of the world, or your life.
”The effect of immersing oneself in something — an all or nothing mindset”

GOAL: Bringing the theme of issue 16 to life. Utilizing imagery and visuals from all three photo spreads (utopia, mundane, fever) in sound design, set design, and video capture. Direction question asked: “What do we fantasize and desire? How does it juxtapose reality? What does that society look like? Can one exist without the other? Why do we fantasize and what is the journey that we must all go on to find this space catered and made for us?”
