The project is about choosing a theme to express through the images without seeing the facial expression.
This video attempts to convey a sense of being lost in an unfamiliar city, one that is bustling but feels distant. Attempting to escape the bustling crowd.
These footages were mainly shot at Coney Island subway station and the Hudson River Greenway.
The video begins with a soundtrack recorded from a subway station announcement. I chose to start the video with it because the sound of the New York subway holds a unique and indescribable connection for me. When I was editting the video, I sent the opening segment to a friend, and I was surprised that she could describe her feelings in a way that was very close to what I wanted to convey.
