A LIFE ELECTRIC
A LIFE ELECTRIC IS A MULTIMEDIA DOCUMENTARY EXPLORING EPILEPSY EXPERIENCES GLOBALLY WITH THE GOAL OF BRINGING HUMANKIND’S MOST MISUNDERSTOOD BRAIN CONDITION OUT OF THE SHADOWS THROUGH ART AND EDUCATION
S H E ’ S L O S T C O N T R O L is a concept referring to the spontaneous and instantaneous chaos of an epileptic seizure. Striking when you don’t expect it; confusion, distortion...loss of control, this concept lifts directly from the experience of the seizure and translates to a direct and arbitrary visual language.

CONFUSION IN HER EYES THAT SAYS IT ALL.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL.
AND SHE'S CLINGING TO THE NEAREST PASSER BY,
SHE'S LOST CONTROL.
AND SHE GAVE AWAY THE SECRETS OF HER PAST,
AND SAID I'VE LOST CONTROL AGAIN,
AND A VOICE THAT TOLD HER WHEN AND WHERE TO ACT,
SHE SAID I'VE LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
AND SHE TURNED AROUND AND TOOK ME BY THE HAND AND SAID,
I'VE LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
AND HOW I'LL NEVER KNOW JUST WHY OR UNDERSTAND,
SHE SAID I'VE LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
AND SHE SCREAMED OUT KICKING ON HER SIDE AND SAID,
I'VE LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
AND SEIZED UP ON THE FLOOR, I THOUGHT SHE'D DIE.
SHE SAID I'VE LOST CONTROL.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL.
WELL I HAD TO 'PHONE HER FRIEND TO STATE MY CASE,
AND SAY SHE'S LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
AND SHE SHOWED UP ALL THE ERRORS AND MISTAKES,
AND SAID I'VE LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
BUT SHE EXPRESSED HERSELF IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS,
UNTIL SHE LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
AND WALKED UPON THE EDGE OF NO ESCAPE,
AND LAUGHED I'VE LOST CONTROL.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL AGAIN.
SHE'S LOST CONTROL.
