About
This is a work about speeding up and slowing down. It offers comfort and shelter in acceptance of mortality. A larger-than-life cheetah automaton features articulated joints and sprinting legs. Each limb includes multiple pivot points, allowing for fluid, lifelike motion. A large hand crank activates the mechanism, propelling the cheetah into a simulated full-speed sprint. The den is an enclosed organic shape, casting dappled shadows. Inside, cheetah cubs lounge on beanbags, accompanied by a soft ambient audio track featuring a recording of a real cheetah purring and a contemplative meditation.
