Artist Statement
Having attachments and strong ties in different distant places in the world, brings about hardship in unexpected ways that can amplify feeling homesick and isolated. In this short video, apart from the distorted quality imagery and the display of time difference, through sounds of local radio news, telephones ringing, and music, we can feel a certain nostalgia that resonates the same feelings of homesickness and isolation.
