Dissipating Wind
I spent most of my childhood at my grandparents'house. As I grew up, the times I went home became less frequent and the intervals became longer. This change made me feel the passage of time more strongly. I know they will leave me one day. But this change also made my relationship with the old house closer. When I left there, I started to really look back on the past. I began to re-understand what kind of people my grandparents were, the relationship between them, the mode of getting along, the appearance and story of their youth, and so on, were re-opened in front of my eyes.
During the shooting process, I found photos of my grandparents when they were young and cropped some of them to overlap with the newly taken photos to show the passage of time; I also use body movements and the relationship between different still lifes to suggest my rethinking of intimacy.
After leaving a familiar place, the shaping of my past time really begins, just like the concept of hometown always emerges after leaving.
All these exist in my mind like the wind that is about to dissipate, looming.
