The Rabbit, the Wanderer and the Majician

Abstract

THIS BODY OR WORK FOCUSES ON MY story of walking into adulthood and the calcification of my childhood. Each piece chips away at the hard truths of growing up in a westernised society and the majic we learned to forget. The body of work follows the story of a Wanderer, a Rabbit and a Majician – a young boy by the name of Ian. The Wanderer is a parallel representation of my personal experiences and realisations growing up. He has just woken up to the awareness of not being able to feel. He has realised that he has been systemised into a mechanical numbness and has lost the zeal and freedom he once had as a child. That’s when the rabbit comes to visit him, taking him to the Majician to teach him to be young again. They wander the forest to visit the ancestors who give them guidance on their journey.
