Icolette (2023)
Video with sound. 00:08:55 minutes.
Icolette is a transcendental multimedia experimental film that mirrors natural systems and cycles. The film follows a young girl determined to collect the skin of a fish. In response, the fish fights for its life. Their interaction is curious, intimate, sexual, painful, and ultimately lethal. It is informed by the cycles and functions of the body, creating for a unique coalition of fantasy, geometry, and science. The use of many media acts like a video collage, pointing to the idea of repeating patterns throughout seemingly separate entities, no matter parted by space, time, scale, or realm. Icolette was directly inspired by a dream of mine, thus surreality seeps through every frame.
