Director Statement

The other day I had a drink with a dear friend, and I ended up being so drunk that I was deeply ashamed to learn about my embarrassment during the drunkenness through an outsider's narration. After that incident, I began to pay attention to the contrasts in people's lives, between people, between sobriety and intoxication, and this contrast comes from the overly elaborate packaging that everyone puts on themselves. Whenever this extreme happens, the packaging disintegrates, everyone returns to a completely uniform pace, free and naked and unrestrained. I want to use my camera to gaze at such a situation, and also to gaze at myself, who was walking unsteadily but pretending to be sober at that moment.
