Suitcase, 2019

The suitcase talks about the secrets that everyone carries with their special suitcase when they leave a place; a suitcase as big as the meaning of the universe; a suitcase as small as it carries life. It is not the suitcase that gives sense to its owner, but the owner gives meaning to it and its content.

The video is the combination of different images and videos that have been taken by my cell phone. As if you talk to someone who is your beloved friend or family, but you cannot reach easily. Social media is the only way to interact. The video combines daily life updates or a short daily report about the weather in my city, my new home, or place. It pictures my new world from my cell phone’s screen to my loved ones’ eyes. Like a bridge that two people are waiting on two different sides of it full of longing.
