Reflection on last few posts.
After looking back at what i have done in the last couples weeks and reading through my posts again, i have noticed something that i had not before. My step sister Lorna’s discussions about my work have suddenly interested me. In particular when she said, ”….able to show what an incredible yet horrific difference there is between the lives of these two animals. The loved pet and the lonely, scared test lad animal.”
I wanted to highlight when she said ”the lives of these two animals”. It has provoked my mind because Lorna calls me an animal from watching my video, NOT a human. That speaks volumes to me. I didnt even think of that being an outcome but now i see it makes sense. I put myself into a situation of vulnerability and entrapment with the context of an animal testing lab. This has therefore changed who i am. My identity as a human has been lost through my video, I am no longer seen as human, i have become name less animal.
Fascinating!
