Echoes of Time

This video  project was inspired by  my deep concern for the elderly, particularly those residing  in care facilities, who experienced profound loneliness during the pandemic. This immediately reminded me of my grandfather  back  in  my  hometown. To  bridge  the distance  and  offer  him  a  sense  of  distant  familial companionship, I embarked on creating a video that features my grandfather as the central character .

At 93 years old, my grandfather tells me stories not only recounting his personal journey but also holding the  collective  memories  of our family,  serving  as  portals to  another  era. Through  his  narratives,  I felt transported through time, walking historical streets with him and hearing echoes of the past .

 

This project underscores that we are all connected by the threads of time and  history, forming a grand tapestry of intergenerational stories. These stories are not mere narratives; they are bridges that span generations.

Through this project, I hope to inspire others to cherish and document the stories of their elders, fostering stronger connections between generations and preserving the rich tapestry of our collective history .
