Rachel Chen
Project Title:
Starless Night
Project Description:
For this liminality project, I want to try to use visual language to express a kind of contradictory emotion: when relatives or friends around us pass away, on the one hand, we really want to keep their memories and remember them, but on the other hand, we have to admit that as time changes, we have no way to remember all the details, and the grief may not appear as strong as before.

The inspiration for this came from the death of my grandfather ten years ago. At that time, I felt pain and cried a lot. I also regretted that I didn’t have the opportunity to see him for the last time. But ten years later, when I picked up this memory from the bottom of my heart, I found that I have already forgotten the exact date of his death. I believe that there are much more people that share these kinds of experiences and emotions than me, so I really want to show this contradictory but universal emotion through visual language.

In the end, I decided to make a video to present this story and feeling, and it is also a letter to my grandfather.
