So Close When You Look Away
So Close When You Look Away explores the intricate emotions one might experiences in a romantic relationship. In this project, I recreated the fragmented moments within a relationship that showcase the intricate nature of love. Love might be seemingly positive and joyful yet painful at the same time. Being a sensitive person within a romantic relationship could be overwhelming, which constantly lives in the complication of supposing oneself simultaneously being loved and abandoned. One always waits for the other, and the other never waits. As a Chinese poem says, “So far away when you look at me, so close when you look at the clouds”. Thus, love is like a pendulum that swings between pleasure and pain.
