Gasping For Air is a clay stop-frame animation exploring what it looks and feels like to struggle for breath due to air pollution. This short film was created for On Air, an exhibition at Ceramic Art London 2022 making visible the invisible problem of air pollution. Verging on Horror, it explores the desperation felt when you can't catch your breath and slide towards suffocation. Increasing numbers of people suffer from the impact of air pollution: 1:10 London residents are now being treated for asthma.

The film cuts between a figure increasingly struggling to breathe, and an abstracted sense of what gasping for air feels like: dilated bronchials, constrictions and mucus-engulfed wind pipes.
