Video Self Portrait - Artist Statement

I used a fast paced collection of clips because I wanted it to be like a moving collage displaying various aspects of my life. It opens with me opening my bedroom door and ends with me closing the school door because school and my bedroom are where I spend most of my time. The shots from the car window are important to me because one of my favourite places to be is on car rides. The car ride shots are supposed to be an accurate representation of what the window view is like so the sound and blurriness are intentional. I've included clips of a phone playing various songs that are important to me. Some of the clips like the lip balm, tea, backpack, headphones and shoes are just things that are a part of my daily life. The clip of the leggings with a galaxy pattern on them is included because the first attempt I made at being social at this school was complimenting those leggings and that resulted in me being friends with the people I am right now. The song is one of the only songs that's important to me not lyrically, just because the sound is nice and calming and it reminds me of car rides.
