How I Lived My Life
Adobe Premiere, 2020
As a whole, our lives are the sum of our past, present, and future. While we are all uncertain about what the future holds, we have a meaningful recollection of good and bad past memories. When we are adolescents, time is perceived to pass very slowly. Each second can feel like an eternity. But as we age, time seems to irreversibly speed up only to wind itself in a chaotic tangle. This film follows my life from birth to a hypothetical death but spans through my past present and future. Because I don't know the events that will happen in the future, much of what represents the future is abstract with some sense of events that are taking place. Some of the future events are symbolic of what could be predicted of a future like a nuclear bomb going off, re-construction of buildings and land, robots, drug development, fantastical cities, and bright lights.
