Description

This film HORSE HEAD, represents my internal gender and identity struggles through which I navigated, with no guidance or community. Fractured animation images of body, roses, skulls and metaphorical transformation images (the body wearing a horse head, entrapment, submersion ..etc.) throughout the visual landscape, represent this inner turmoil.
