To see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour…
William Blake
Through My Window is an intimate observational film, which was shot during the early days of motherhood. While dealing with entirely new feelings, which at times felt blissful, unexpected, and uncomfortable, the film captures daily tasks and monotonous activities, a quintessential part of bringing up a human. To cope with struggles of daily repetitions and often feeling trapped, I was recording fleeting time, my child growing journey, and mother-child bond moments, while realising the new motherhood significance and meaning towards a deeper understanding of the ephemeral everyday experiences that ultimately shape our human existence.
