INTRODUCTION
​
Obscure Passage is a filmic tone poem- a symbolic narrative interplay between ritualized movement and sacred iconography.
The triptych installation centers the audience spatially within the work and ‘embodies’ the viewer as the third character in the piece.
We see the film as a cinematic portal - an experience that draws upon religious meta-narratives to explore the universal nature of ritual.
