We Ascend Without Warning

Film, 2020, 4 min 27 sec

 

Struck by the news that my mom had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, I began to relive my memories and emotions. I came to this point of intersection between emotional empathy and preemptive grief. She is still here, but I can feel her slipping away. I simultaneously felt, and continue to feel, the love of every personal connection in my life. This is the state of emotion and reflection that my film evokes.

 

To my mother, Heather Roxanne.

I love you more.
