About

The Safest Cage is an experimental and performative video work, themed on and produced during the COVID-19 lockdown. Based on my own experience of being constantly confronted with the interior space, the sense of repetition, as well as my mysophobia during the lockdown, this work explores the relationship between everyday objects and the self. It aims to visualise absurdity, frustration, desire as well as beauty in this special period of time.
