Gareth Ward Arrest.
This segment reported on the conviction of former NSW MP Gareth Ward for historical sexual abuse offences. The challenge was to visualise events while maintaining legal sensitivity and protecting 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
