Cancer treatment

By Flisan Beard 2017 - 2018
New social project about terminal illness and social stigma around death and dying. In a society that promotes anti-ageing and immortality, projections of judgment, persecution, shame, fear, isolation and loneliness are internalised. A cancer patient expresses through a metaphorical language in drawings how societal dictates, influence feelings around living with dying. My animation film clips are responding to the patient’s stories and his drawings.
