Film Synopsis
The piece is a symphony of visuals, ambient sounds, and music. It unveils the daily lives of Yunnan, China in parks and outdoor markets, the natural beauty of the province, and its religious side. Traveling is a spontaneous experience, therefore I structured the video so that each scene transitions to a different vibe - from the bustling markets to the quiet countryside (sometimes unexpectedly) - to make the audience experience Yunnan the way I did, as my friend and I rushed from one location to another without fully grasping what we saw.
