Puppetier

I created a doll, One attached to unnoticed strings, To take my place in the world, Until I could find the strength To stand on my own and progress forward. But instead of gaining courage to walk myself, I’ve only found more reasons to stay behind the curtain and hide My only reasons to move is to pull the dolls strings And now I’ve lost, because I no longer know which of us is the doll And which is pulling the strings thst lead. But I do know, we both are cracking And time is slipping away on the hourglass until one of us shattered And who knows what will happen to the one left over with the peices

This short clip about artist and maker Zina Nicole Lahr may be as tragic as it is beautiful. Earlier this fall Lahr approached her friend Stormy Pyeatte and asked if they might shoot a quick video for her portfolio. The video was shot and edited in just two days and demonstrates Lahr’s insatiable desire to build, invent, and “bring life to something inanimate,” a process she called her “creative compulsive disorder.” Almost unthinkably, Lahr was killed in a hiking accident in Colorado on November 20th, a few weeks after this was shot.

I didn’t know Lahr, but if this brief glimpse into her life is any indicator it’s clear she possessed an extremely rare spirit that feels completely genuine and infectious. It seems she was involved in practically every genre of creativity we normally cover here on Colossal. Make the most out of every day, folks. Lahr certainly did.
