The often debated and explored concept of self-esteem is seen as a tug of war between characteristics that seem like assets and those that are drawbacks. Flux is a video piece that attempts to depict the nature of self-esteem. Nansi Matua's approach is distinctive; the focal point is not the main character, but the surrounding air. We never truly discover who the character is but can only imagine by its silhouette and the surroundings. The constant shift between positive and negative reflections of self-worth culminates in an honest representation of a conflicted individual. This solidifies the concept of self-esteem as a process of self-reflection as well as one that is constantly in "flux."
