This is an experimental video that explores the theme of multifacetedness. It’s sometimes hard to
figure out who a person really is since as multi-faceted individuals, our personalities are
constantly changing. The change that one sees might also depend on his/her own perspective of
seeing and way of interacting with people.
In this video, I want to show the diverse faces of my grandma in a visual form. She always
played a benign role when I was a child. That’s what I call the “classic mode” of her which is
shown in the frontal part of the scene. However, she could also be cute, capricious, or even less
approachable. Those confusing or mysterious personalities are unfolded in the distorting images
as the camera moves to the other side of the scene. Sometimes I'm afraid of discovering the
unfamiliar sides of my loved ones since there might be things about them that will find
unacceptable. However, I gradually realize that as complex humans with complex souls, it's
inevitable for us to wear many different hats during any given day, thus making us up for who we
are as people. In the end, embrace the diversity of both others and yourself. Embrace the change!
