Title Running from conscience: the compliant individual
Date 2011-08
Description My research deals with the complexity and ambiguity of the choices we make, and the physiological factors that often influence our decisions. Why do we follow, why do we conform, and why do we comply are questions that I researched, and these complex questions served as an impetus for my creative work. Through the creative process I explored power, weakness, guilt, living with guilt and coming to terms with accountability and responsibility. Ultimately I realized that the human race often longs for the security of being in a group, or the simplicity of following an order. This dependency makes for a grey area in trying to discern right and wrong, good and bad, as from this conflicted grey place many choices are made, some which are extremely difficult to confront and ultimately accept.
