Polar

A close family member was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder in 2006.  Polar, is an installation about the disorder, trying to understand it from the perspective of the diagnosed and the perception of those around them. Polar ties to break down bi-polar disorder from science into human emotion and action.

Study of scientific journals and other scholarly material was a starting point, but I found the most inspiration from my family in the events and situations we are all learning to live with and comprehend.

It is about movement, discovery, control and the balance of extremes.
