Artist’s Statement

I have been reflecting on my relationship with my mother for many years and I always feel that we are from two different worlds. I am confused why most of the mothers do not even make an attempt to get along with their children as they want. In recent years, I am surprised to find out that I am affected by my mother in various ways. Therefore, in this short film, I wish to explore how one generation influence the next generation, sometimes in incredibly subtle ways, and how family members with different point of views get along with each other.
