I wanted to explore and abstract the beauty that is in the mundane daily activity of doing laundry. The repetitive motions of the washing machine spinning and stopping is shown in very tight and dark shots, to abstract something that is so familiar to us. The colors of the clothes flash by in tight shots of the washer, which allow the viewer to see what is often unnoticed and beautiful in the monotonous tasks of every day life. As the film goes on, the images become lighter and small details start to lead the viewer to understand that the object in the video is a washing machine.
The washing machine itself is an object that cleans the things we use the most- our clothes. Washing clothes is a task that many people, myself included, dread. But when we take a step back and remember the process and really watch what is happening, it transforms into something beautiful.
