Date Issued 19 June 2020
Abstract Breathe is an experimental film on the filmmaker's journey to her finish line: her university graduation. In the process of reaching for her goal, she experiences having to wrestle between the push and pull of who she is and who the people around her want her to be; the filmmaker struggles to breathe. On the one hand. the work depicts her thoughts filled with memories of good times with family and friends, while on the other hand, it attempts to express the inner workings of her mind whenever it goes dark. Using found footage from past trips and adventures, the work was knit together with the guidance of Sergei Eisenstein's dialectic film formula. Influenced by George Herbert Blumer's Symbolic Interactionism and Charles Horton Cooley's Looking-Glass Self, the videos used were carefully chosen to manifest the meanings they hold to the filmmaker.
