In times of devastation, the natural tendency is to become
overwhelmed with feelings of desperation and sorrow. When
events are out of our control, how an individual reacts to a
catastrophe is often the only thing we have the power to
change. This project seeks to visually juxtapose a tragic
situation and the individual’s ability to choose how they react to
it. The dancing couples introduce a feeling of hopefulness and
optimism amidst the rising water levels caused by an undefined
disaster.
