"Pause" (2022)
Pauses can be a ritual in our life.
Rituals induce anxiety.
Rituals provide safety.
Rituals create opportunities.
Rituals bring reflexivity.
The short film is a collaboration with my fiancée ( now my wife ). The idea originated from our experience about the rituals in life, which things tend to happen with collective perceptions and rules. And sometimes a pause might introduce clarity and insights. “Pause” has come to our lives in a sudden due to the coronavirus. For us, it is a chance for self-reflection. A pause can be destructive, but it can also be a moment for reviving.
