From a snowy mountain at night in the moonlight, to a waterfall, a plain in the mist, and mountains gleaming in the sunlight, natural phenomena circulating across the land and the sky are captured in black and white images. Tranquility, strength, beauty. Even in the absence of people, much like this spring, there exists serenely, circle of time. Much like Shan shui paintings, the continuous collection of images quietly and robustly appeal to the viewer's innermost emotions. Even though Covid-19 prevents us from filming humans, there still are possibilities of creation. We believe in the pure power of film. The structure of these images that goes from depicting darkness to light embodies the forthcoming hope, while simultaneously serving as a symbol of repose for the fighting and unrest shrouding the world. The images are presented along with haikus from 400 years ago, Edo period in Japan, which were written along almost precisely the same mountain path as in the film.
