A six minute video that captures someone's identity with language and images

Though this multimedia film is not a poem, it is a poetic way of capturing an artist's life calling. I want you to look at the images, paradoxes, metaphors selected to characterize an artist's personal and professional life in six minutes. When you create your multimedia projects, remember to find just the right picture in language and in visual form for each idea and feeling you wish to express; be sure to use your five senses and to appeal to your readers'/viewers' auditory, gustatory, visual, tactile, and olfactory senses. You do NOT want to tell your audience what to feel; instead the goal of your project is to bring up physical feelings in the viewer/reader by using your voice, your images, and your language to do so. Bring your reader to the place you want him/her to be; let him/her feel what it is like to be there by taking him/her there in language, voice, and pictures. Once you conjure these physical sensations in your viewer, the emotions are certain to follow.
