I was born in West Wales, but my family and I have explored
Portugal and Spain since I was 8. Ever since, we have been back and forth,
building up the beautiful ruins and lands – our dream, the sun and the
grounding lifestyle always pulling us back. This piece explores our life in
Portugal, why we moved, the lifestyle we follow and how this feels.
I created this piece with the intention of encouraging
people to pursue their passions and live according to their own values and
ideals. My hope is that it will inspire individuals to make choices that bring
them happiness and fulfilment, and to live their lives to the fullest.
The moving image piece is accompanied by a document explaining
my intention for the piece, with handmade eucalyptus leaf paper, imprinted with
words encouraging the audience to smell to get a full sensory experience.
