The Sentience Project
My life took a pivotal turn following a series of concussions. Trying to understand the new relationship I had with my body and my capabilities- and with funding from Canada Council for the Arts- I began the creation of a short film documenting my healing process and where it has led me. The more I honored my body's language, the more my personal sentience became inexorably linked with the sentience of other beings. The Sentience Project is a radical reclaiming of both my body's wisdom and the undeniable right that all animals have to inhabit theirs.
