Private Project

Knit! Knit! Knit!

In "Knit! Knit! Knit!" we delve into the fractured reality of a young woman battling dementia. As she sits knitting, her mind drifts, recalling the necessity of her medication. With each stitch, memories unravel, and she rises to seek her pills, only to find herself ensnared in the labyrinth of her fragmented mind.

The construction site becomes a tangible manifestation of her confusion, a maze where past and present intertwine. Amidst the chaos, the constant rhythm of her knitting provides solace, a thread of continuity amidst the chaos of forgetfulness.

Through abstract imagery and disjointed sequences, " Knit! Knit! Knit!" captures the disorienting experience of dementia, where reality blurs, and the line between past and present fades. As the young woman continues to knit, her repetitive actions symbolize a futile attempt to hold onto familiarity in a world slipping away.

Director Statement

I have always taken an interest in identifying the self to the place, and researching senses of existence, privacy and belonging. Interdisciplinary art has helped me understand my (self) and delve deeper into what defines us as existing live beings.
