Seeing Red

In *Seeing Red*, three distinct elements run parallel, overlap, diverge, and interact in various ways to express the idea that a color, a melody, or a person can possess multiple characteristics that resist simple interpretation. One element is purely visual, another is highly verbal and minimally visual, and the third is purely musical. The film explores questions such as whether red is the color of a fire truck or a ruby, of rust or a rose, of blood or a brick. It also asks how fixed a melody is if it can be altered to the point of unrecognizability. The work further examines what is meant when someone "sees red"—what color is actually perceived, and what emotional or psychological aspect of passion is being expressed. It considers whether the red in question reflects an external view of injustice and greed or an internal reflection on personal limitations and failures.
