"I think I’ve always longed for a sound that doesn’t fade—a sound that lasts, that never weakens. You could say it’s the opposite of the piano, because it doesn’t disappear. It feels eternal, almost like a literary metaphor." — Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda
We each reconcile with the world in our own way, and everyone has their shining moments. But how do we become a glowing stone in the mire of life? It's about loving all the unknowns on the path ahead, just like the diverse characters inhabiting films. In different eras and settings, for a fleeting moment, similar emotions resonate, and then you realize that those beautiful or weary faces on screen can be you, and can be me. And our faces will all be gently caressed by the same breeze. It turns out, we exist for these very moments.
I explore the myriad forms of the real world, and I also question the boundaries and costs of freedom. Behind freedom, there is always much solitude, and the real world is rarely ordinary. Through the lens, I document unreachable frontiers—those pains, joys, and sorrows—which, because they are real, burn more fiercely into the heart, leaving one breathless.
