The Clearing
Shot in the imposing Scottish Highlands, this series traces the journey of a human trying to separate themself from inherited shame by surrendering to nature. Roving the raw landscape, a bare body stripped of labels and clothes on a journey to remember what the mind tries to hide. Skin against cold bark and wet ground, at first uncomfortable feeling vulnerable and exposed, bent by invisible weight. Surrounded by trees, stone, and wind, there is no audience, no performance. Only reflection. Along the way shame, fear and all manner of repressed emotions start to peel off, unlearning the roles it was taught and uncovering the self beneath.
