video/sound – in a loop
Sooner or later, everyone faces the loss of a loved one whether a parent, a close friend, or, even more painfully, a partner or child. How do we cope with such profound loss? How do we reflect on it?
In this project, I sought to instinctively visualize my emotions as I mourned the loss of one of my parents for the first time. The work explores the vulnerability of life juxtaposed against the relentless, indifferent flow of nature. It contrasts the crushing gravity of our human fate with a more detached contemplation of its inevitable conclusion.
Special thanks to musician Luca Di Maio for curating the accompanying soundscape for the video, reworking the audio from my original footage (waterfall of Iguazu, Argentina).
