Watching a film I made a few years ago, about my struggle with my gender identity, admiring the confidence I had then, looking for something similar now in the face of the same pain. Remaking, repurposing, rethinking older shots of myself, the sun, the bathtub, and moving closer to shooting myself and the sky today; a new image to romanticise later, something to move on from, the same handheld camera.
lyrics
young hands held the cam
look a little kinder
i could be a girl in the viewfinder
