I created this personal project to talk about a deep feeling I have, which I call "Sonder Feeling".
The translation of this term is as follows:
The deep feeling of realizing that each individual, including those passing by on the street, has a complex existence and a unique history, that they live without our even being aware of it... and the deep feeling of fear and loneliness that this realization engenders in me.
I wanted to depict the passage of time and its inevitability. To see our loved ones age, die, the fear of becoming aware of our place, however insignificant it may be in the universe.
It frightens me to see other people's lives unfold and to understand that our own lives are also unfolding.
For the occasion, I recreated a bedroom in the studio, making a mural which we painted and then decorated in a minimalist way so that we could concentrate on the main character and the story she was telling.
I also like to implement stagings which, at the time, might seem a little ill-considered, but which have the advantage of letting the viewer transpose and create his or her own story.
