Portraits:Taken from Our Days is a personal and family-centered film, built from fragments of daily life and letter exchanges with my father. Through these intimate recordings, I explore shifting family relationships, unstable living environments, and my own psychological states. By revisiting family archives, I attempt to reconstruct an image of “home” from scattered memories.

Graduation is approaching, marking the close of a chapter. I took my camera to Green Island, recording video letters day by day. But the camera became unruly, backup batteries went missing, and the trip began to go downhill. Typhoons arrived, and the video letters ceased... Finally, facing the sea beneath the sun, my camera non-responsive, I took a Dramamine, then boated back home.
