A Caged Bird

Jacob’s interpretation of the song: The song felt messy and tangled. In my head I saw a girl trapped in a room with light pouring in. She could see out but never travel into the world because her wings had been clipped. The shadows haunt and taunt her until a new way of thinking about her circumstances enters her mind and a new light is shed on her situation. With this new way of seeing, she feels freedom of hope and is distracted from her trapped-ness until she can see her purpose again. Jill’s dance represents the bird and I am the hope that enters her mind, helping her to find freedom within her confinement.
