Shape Oblong is a personal documentary exploring my struggles with mental illness. I created this work for my masters thesis and it kicked off my interest in fear. Fear and anxiety has had a huge impact on my life. I’m well aware of how it manipulates and bends reality. I suspect our country is currently going through a time of fear and anxiety, and I aim to find out what it means for the future of the U.S. The following chapters are a meditation on fear, the lack of, and everything in between.
