We Can Never Go Back
2023
A woman’s time spent in her garden transports her to a dreamlike state in which the beauty of nature blends with her art, and becomes a place of refuge and solace. The film represents her consciousness, how she thinks and feels about her art, love, a feeling of belonging and connectedness, and how making art helps her to cope with grief and loss. As she tends her garden, time contracts and expands, the past and present collapse. She is suffused in the glow of her beloved pets who have now departed this realm, and in the garden she was forced to leave.
