Her Inner Self (Revealed)

Imagine a 10-megaton nuclear weapon being airburst directly on top of a person who utterly deserves it. At that moment, the instant of direct impact, her true and simultaneous inner natures are revealed for all to see.

This is a “making of” – type video of a decoupage piece in my studio… Overall? The idea here was to create something temporal that reflected the themes going on in the decoupage/sculpture thing I was working on at the time: plague; extinction; destruction; traitorous behavior; insects; insecurity; dinosaurs – and of course: the devil.

The audio in “her inner self (revealed)” comes from many sources – some found; some historic; some created by me. Overall, the sound bed is supposed to evoke bleak destruction and monstrous gloom.
