She Crossed

Uprooted and regrowing,
trust and care;
winding through the veins of a building,
a cleaner and I.
She crossed, she crossed, they crossed.
"But life continues,"
she said.

Director Biography - Daisy Ziyan Zhang

Daisy Ziyan Zhang is an observer. Fluid, floating, and rooting adventitiously. She crafts films and artefacts that question established norms of building, and unearth the often unnoticed and marginalised. Between the tenderness and unease of being, dancing; her body of work constructs a reverie for new imaginaries of the everyday, rippling with longing, searching for kinship. She was trained and practiced as an architect, and holds a Master of Architecture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is currently an independent filmmaker.

Director Statement

In awe of the fragility and tenacity of being, I observe.

In a world saturated with images, opinions, stuff, what am I adding? What do I care about and why does it matter? Thank you, for these exact moments shared with you make my art.
