Return to the Sea

Director / Cinematographer / Editor

A short film following contemporary artist Motoi Yamamoto as he creates a salt installation. I directed, shot and edited the film.

Combining scenes of his process with an interview, the film explores the ideas and intentions behind the work. I aimed for a cinematic approach that values stillness and pauses.

Selected as a finalist at CICLOPE Asia 2019.
