This video called "She wonders”, which is inspired by audiovisual poem “Where I’m from” as a direct response to George Ella Lyon’s poem of the same name. This videos portrays my constant wonder about myself destination and the  sense of missing my family. Through heartfelt Facetime calls and solitary moments in the city, the miss of connection and a sense of belonging.

The video showcases the myriad of emotions that I experience on this journey. It delves into the strange and profound feelings, as a wonder the question of where I am from. The exploration of the use of the third person - she; as a perspective from me now describes my journey, learns and grows with each passing day.

With visuals, atmospheric and original sounds,  "She Wonders" invites viewers to join this courageous girl on her path of self-discovery, a discovery so sweet. End the video with some notes of ukulele which give the open answers for the endless question “ where I am from “  and we start again with new journey.

It leaves myself reflecting on my own quests for belonging and inspires me  to embrace the beauty of the unknown as I continue to seek and understand where I belongs, why i am here, who I am and where I'm from.

Thanks to Michael - my housemate for helping me recording for this poem.
