Fractals
Estabrak / 22:40mins / 2023
Fractals is a short film exploring the dynamics of an artists life living within complex intersectional and socialised margins of acceptance.
It is an intimate exploration in how the medium of glass can be used to represent such vulnerable yet powerful life stories and experiences, through the artists own words.
Documentary in style, it follows the making of new glass works and uncovers insight into Estabrak's multi faceted creative process. Through centering the relationship of glass and water and the deep connections these mediums have to nature and our environments, this film chronicles the use of glass in representing deep human complexities; including invisible systems.
Working across the mediums of water, wood, sand and ice, key conversations explored in this film are biology, love, war, food, security, culture, structures and family; all through new ways of engaging the medium of glass.
