I read the poem multiple times and tried to imagine the feelings and details in the atmosphere of the writing. According to that, I searched for unreleased, recent 35mm film that could create a loose narrative based on the general theme and the writing I received. I used some of the key words for the titles.

The work is in the detailed sensibility of analog photography. A big part of the process is finding a cohesion among random images I have taken in the past, which is inherent to my art practice.

The story in this case glues them together into a new work on its own, which is part of the "Collect Call's" interdependency and collaborative nature. I liked the personal aspect of the "Long Distance" text, to which I could relate to inspire my own contribution.
