I found some old footage of a tree is a new film that envisions a Mother Nature- like character, personified as an experimental filmmaker. The film is not intended to be read as her finished work, but rather a snapshot of the creative process—like a journal entry, a vignette of ideas, or a mind map as she contemplates how to capture the changing planet. In this piece, the materiality of film becomes a metaphor for time, impermanence, and the ephemeral nature of the physical world. A sense of anxiety and urgency shapes the work, leaving us uncertain whether we are witnessing the past, the present, or a message from the future.
