project type: short film | motion + stills
#narrative #commercials #personal

Amidst the misty peaks of Guilin, an aging cormorant fisherman reflects on his vanishing way of life. Once a symbol of harmony between human and nature, the practice now stands as a ghost of sustainability lost. This cinematic poem speaks to the need for preservation — of traditions, ecosystems, and time itself.

Official selection of Aug'25 Patagonia x Surfrider Foundation Conservational Film Festival.
