STAY CLOSE

Single-channel video, Sound
Length: 5'14
year: 2023

The poetry film is on feelings around familial expressions of care, distance, identity, and memories of and longing for childhood, home seems fragile, and love seems strong, which are expressed unspoken. In many ways, love is the foundation of solidarity. Love can promote the well-being of all members of society, especially since we have experienced three years of Covid; love can make people closer instead of far from each other. The structure of the film Stay Close is love and care in our daily life, a trip that starts with love. Love and solidarity are two powerful and interconnected concepts that have the potential to bring about positive change in our lives and give us more energy
to resist loneliness, pain, and sorrow.
