Rubics...An image, a word, a movement...

I chose a prescription bottle as an image as I feel it's an accessible and relatable as an entry point for disability. We all have dealt with accommodation at some point in our lives whether through grief, a hospital stay, or the flu and common cold, etc. I also offer up this image as a way to critique how disability is viewed and the limitations of the medical model. The individual is left out of the picture.

Witness is the word I chose. At an artist talk given by Mark Tribe, an artist who uses protest footage in his video work, I asked him whether he was an observer or participant at these protests. He said both. I believe witness means there is accountability and responsibility of whether we take action.

Sweeping, the act of maintenance is the movement I chose as a metaphor. Again here is a choice. Is policy maintained simply for the sake of policy even if it is not constructive or detrimental? On the flip side, how are ethics and values maintained throughout all our actions and what happens if we realize they contradict policy? "Live Your Beliefs" (sweeping video)
