Studio II | Spare Time

The story follows a girl who is situated within her own room. Within the room are all the telltale objects of a witch- yes a young witch who is bustling in the joy of her witchcraft. The world has been subjected to staying in doors during the trying time of COVID, meaning that most of us have been forced to spend time with ourselves at its most deep and personal levels. Yet some of us have really embraced the seclusion of this isolation, embracing the true deep of their being that they have always been too scared to actively express within the outside world. We follow a girl who has really embraced her inner imagination, she has created an escape in this time of hardship.

The story spans a day, we see a young girl wake up and have the realisation of how robotic and expected her day has become. What she does next allows her to escape that repeated timeline, she simply puts on her witches hat- and the world around her transforms. No longer is it dull but full of magic and life- opportunities. We watch as simple objects turn into her desires of witchcraft (an asset list will be below). She goes about her day as a witch, partaking in activities such as potion making, sowing, making her cat fly and many more. All the while, the sun rises and sets in the preview of a large window. The light and colours change over the life of the day, this is done in order to show that despite the escapism you have created for yourself, the world will still continue around you and a day is just another day that you have managed to get through. At the end of the day though, she realises that this world that she has created must come to an end. She takes the hat off, and the world loses that magical edge, all the items revert back to what they were once more.

What this project aims to achieve is the normalisation of chosen loneliness, the idea that being alone can sometimes be self inflicted in a positive and enlightening manner. Especially during the past year, we have seen a greater appreciation for honoring the time that we have with ourselves and the self growth that has been achieved through being alone. A celebration of self growth and discovery within our own company.
