DUST TO LIGHT, 2023 (short)

Director Statement
Ambiguous loss is a curious thing. Like a confrontation of shadows. Opaque, borderless memories that somehow prick to the touch. A hollow that creaks when the wind blows. This project was born from a curiosity to explore the tension and nuance of encountering a person for the first time through the everyday objects they've left behind: the handles of their drawers, the worn armrests of a chair, the lube in the nightstand, the dental floss in the waste basket. Touching a fingerprint is nothing like holding a hand. And still, there is intimacy to be had in the smudge on a pair of reading glasses.
