Mordunkus - Veggie #430004

My new experimental short explores the mutability of identity through simple digital effects. Familiar teeth become an alien biolandscape as I manipulate the textures. Bilious green overtakes pearly white, transforming the mundane into the unexpected. As the subject bares their modified rictus grin, we re-evaluate our assumption of what appears 'normal'. The once-jarring vivid green shifts to seem not garish, but revealing in its departure from the status quo. I compel the viewer to reconsider the arbitrary societal coding of color and appearance. What decides what is aesthetically pleasing or visually disruptive? These shapes change and become cavities. By toying with culturally-constructed concepts of beauty and propriety, I hope to open space for greater appreciation of the spectrum of human appearance and identity. Even the goopy kind of folks.
