Bagheads Final

  1. This piece is meant to ask a lot of questions, mainly focused on the identity of a human being. Who are we and what are we looking for? The first sequence of the video depicts a woman who is essentially remembering or explaining her life choices. The mask is basically to hide any evidence of individuality in this character. This character is just a person, nothing special. However, this individual like many people in the world battle with how they want to live fulfilling lives. Is our true reality trying to live the American dream? Or is that our pretend reality, which generally fails anyways. Many people who want live in wealth and have the highest power do not end up happy. So are we living to prove others or are we living for ourselves and others? This character thinks about her past in a sense of when she was happiest, in a world of powerful expression or in a world where she would then end up trapped with nothing but a brief case. The birds are a symbol of freedom. The end of the video shows that even though she hung out as a caged money maker for a while she was able to free herself from the expectations of others and live morally to her environment, expression, and mind.
