In the early morning of 2014, I dreamt that the driver suddenly turned her head towards me when I sat in the back seat. "Why don’t you keep making films?" she said. She is my second-eldest sister who passed away in 2005.

After the death of my second-eldest sister, I began to keep a diary, take pictures, and film the daily life of my family. It was an expression of dread towards death and loss: the idea was to capture everything on film before it disappears. When I dreamt of my sister, it seemed she was telling me it was time to face the fact. Birth and death continue to alternate in our lives, and we are always getting ready for the day we must say goodbye.
