Artwork description:
Out of the Blue is a visual meditation on the experiences of Burmese migrants following the military coup. Using synchronized split-screens, the video weaves interviews with young immigrants alongside the artist’s own footage of diaspora experience. Imbued with longing, uncertainty, and resilience, each fragment captures the ache of missing home while reflecting a complex sense of connection and disconnection to the place left behind.
本作品是一部針對緬甸軍事政變後移居者經驗的視覺冥想。影片採用同步雙螢幕呈現，將年輕移民的訪談與藝術家自身記錄的離散經驗影像交織在一起。每個片段都充滿了渴望、不確定性與韌性，既捕捉了思鄉的隱痛，也反映了對那片離別土地所產生的複雜連結與斷裂感。
