MOVING IMAGE

LESSONS FROM HEARTBREAK

Lessons from Heartbreak is a moving-image artwork that weaves together the intimate reflections of three women from different cultural and generational backgrounds as they navigate experiences of love and loss. Through poetic pacing and embodied presence, the film considers heartbreak not as an endpoint, but as a site of transformation, memory, and self-reckoning.
