HIRAETH

MEDIUM: MIXED MEDIA, VIDEO

“Hiraeth' (n.): deep longing for a home which one cannot return to or that may have never even existed.

This is the first minute of my upcoming documentary, in which, instead of presenting the facts of emigration, I try to explore the chaos persisting in my mind ever since I had to leave where I once thought I belonged. Are memories real or fantasy? And if I grip onto them strongly enough, can I make them stay?”
