To hold & to have
(2020)
21 min video
What is love and marriage? I came back to Singapore during the lockdown knowing that my parents’ marriage was not doing well. The making of this video created a space for them to be confronted with their discomfort and desire. It is an attempt to capture the awkward intimacy of marriage, which is more apparent in Asian culture.
