I become an Island (2024)
15 minutes
deep in dances past and working off of a story in a story from a book by Ling Ma, about returning to a place that used to be home only to have no one remember you - freed from bloodline, namesake, and purpose. admitting stuck-ness and stalling, missing the familiar, trying to see hope in the expanse laid out before you.
