Project Statement
Anchor Point is an experimental video work that follows a lone figure moving between two bare and endless terrains — the desert and the sea — which unfold as psychological and perceptual fields.
Filmed in live-action within natural environments, the work takes shape through a direct encounter between human presence and the shifting conditions of light, wind, and landscape. The use of real landscapes — not as backdrop but as active, dynamic presence — has helped co-create the work's final form, suggesting subtle parallels between the rhythms of nature and those of human nature. Its slow-motion pace and oceanic soundscape open a contemplative space, while the work remains open to varied personal interpretation.
The vast landscapes in the work serve as metaphoric registers for inner psychological states — with cliffs of fear, open expanses of solitude, and currents of emotional turbulence. The work reflects an inquiry into the difficulty of releasing structures one has grown accustomed to — a place, a position, an object, or, more deeply, a pattern of thought, habit, or worldview. Their release gives way to a space not yet defined.
While the tension the protagonist experiences between the desert and the sea mirrors a dichotomous worldview, the work dissolves the boundary between the two landscapes — highlighting their contrasts and their points of convergence.
