This work transcends the conventional use of virtual production (filmed at Orca Studios), employing it not simply as a technical instrument, but as a crucial narrative device. It underpins the concept of the volatile physical "non-place" shared by a couple, where their individual internal worlds collide and diverge. The virtual environment becomes a visual representation of this liminal space, reflecting the emotional landscape of their relationship. Inspired by the Japanese concept of "AWARE," the work explores the poignant melancholy that arises from the awareness of life's ephemeral nature.
