Tracing Meadow Creek

This video is an experiential exploration of the easternmost portion of Meadow Creek bordering the Locust Grove neighborhood of Charlottesville, Virginia. Narrated from the perspective of the creek itself, anomalies along its path are taken as points of departure for revealing the layers of infrastructural and human-urban intervention that have transformed the creek over time. It invites viewers to take a more expansive view of the creek’s identity as more than its literal waters.
