Dopamine, 2020
Single-channel video
(4:20)

Dopamine was made shortly after the pandemic began from videos of moments that give a small hit of joy, an immediate sense of pleasure. Some are beautiful; others are funny, strange, or simply satisfying. These fragments preserve the feelings of noticing something wonderful before it disappears. Making the work helped me remember that even during a frightening and uncertain time, little things could still feel magical.
