The cityscape—its signs, language, buildings, streets, and parks—appears anonymous, stripped of identity and belonging.
A sudden cataract reveals fragmented views of this urban environment.
Though seemingly still, subtle micro-movements ripple through, revealing a state not of stillness, but suspended motion.
The fogged, blurred visuals evoke estrangement and uncertainty, creating a barrier that obscures meaning and evokes alienation.
As the video progresses, the camera slowly zooms out to reveal two figures holding a semi-transparent white fabric stretched between sticks.
This element recalls a protest banner or a white flag, adding new layers of interpretation.
The fabric resists fixed meaning—it might symbolize surrender, a call for peace, or an unmarked surface awaiting definition.
This shift deepens the tension between visibility and obscurity, inviting viewers to see the quiet gesture as a subtle yet powerful act of resistance.
