Dreaming Elephant from 안지현 on Vimeo.

“Long time ago, before I was out in this
world, my mother had a dream of a baby
elephant. It was flapping its ears, flying in
the sky. And from the sky, it came and
embraced in my mother’s arms. Soon after
that dream, she had me.”

The elephant symbolizes the idea of

self. The world is a depiction of the

essences of qualities that constitute

a person.

Process

The setting takes place in an internal

world that visualizes the concept of

identity, mind, and emotion.

“I sit. I watch. I did not know my eyes blackened
as the sun rises and sets. I cannot move, but the real
world inside me is alive and colorful.

The beautiful forms in air, the parts of me, flow in the boundless
space. They are me that I know and I still do not know of.

The door is open yet no one seems to visit. The grasses
are still green, but only the wind acknowledges them.
I sit so still, but my world is never still.”
