Gareth Ward Arrest.
This segment reported on the guilty verdict of former Kiama MP Gareth Ward for historical sexual abuse offences against two young men. The challenge was to visualise the timeline and locations of the assaults while maintaining legal sensitivity and victim anonymity.
I utilised a minimal 3D reconstruction style to depict the incidents, placing abstract, low-poly 3D figures into a minimal 3D grey-scale environment. With my camera, I orbited these frozen scenes to establish the spatial relationships between the perpetrator and the victims and was sure to end it at an angle which showcases the intimidation and power dynamics
