[d]Against a white background, a box appears to float. It is wrapped in layers: sky-blue ribboned in silver satin, a pass-the-parcel of newspaper, bubble wrap, a coat of pink feathers.

Rapture was commissioned for Above and Beyond, an international disability arts showcase festival held in the south-west of England in September 2003. The film is a haiku revealing the mystery, exuberance, discovery and surprise that is disability arts. It was screened throughout the festival as an installation in The Rapture Room, the festival's chill-out zone.
