Across the Water (2021) A visual poem / video poetry
A short film on being torn between family and opportunity. Perpetually on the wrong side of the water. The footage is of my mother, filmed at the beach across the water from the airport in Copenhagen, where I have both left and met her many times now.
My home is always across the water
the water is a sea, sometimes a screen
regardless its always blue and endless
what I reach for is blurred by pixels or wet fog
_____
for many years I only say my mom through a screen
behind different blue icons
my own reflection has also become blurred
its sharpest in the borderless land between takeoff and landing
my home is always across the water
