Dissonance: I have an answer for everything

Originated from a conversation I had with my dad about irregular periods. We spoke about it once and never again, and it made me think about how comfortable he is with the redness of pomegranates but not with me, we talk about every little thing. I have 3 sisters, which means my dad has 4 daughters and so I thought with all this time it would've been an easier conversation to have. (Whether it's about periods or murder, I would never want my dad to be as comfortable wiht my blood as he is with pomegranate juice). Further inspired by how obsessed with fruit he is. The man eats a lot of fruit. It's also about the myths surrounding menstruation and the moon; as irregular as my periods are, I always find myself bleeding on or around a full moon. The writings of Anais Nin also influenced it, specifically hers and Clarice Lispector's writings about love, and almost every other piece of media I have consumed surrounding the word; hence the 7 stages of love act as the film's different chapters. I've represented this through film and my sculptures of the moon seen throughout, combining it with oranges and sound. A poem I wrote to go alongside it is spoken in Twi to tie it back to my heritage. The film developed from this inital conversation into an amalgamation of all the different types of love I have experienced for myself, my dad and my lover, both moon and person.
