My Mother's Taoist Journey
The film reveals a duality: a woman’s spiritual evolution unfolding through both sacred practices and the mundane crucible of family life. Raw and lyrical, it portrays the quiet revolution of self- cultivation within societal confines. I collaborated with my mother on this film, where she documented her daily life as a Taoist-inspired traditional Chinese medicine practitioner using her old phone. I edited the footage and wove in narration from her past, intertwining our distinct perspectives into a layered narrative.
