Director's statement
I once worked for a commercial production house. Many times when I exited the vast, confined, and gloomy studio to collect my breath, I could observe a stunning evening sunset in the suburbs that was borderless because to the absence of towering structures. However, no one was interested in such a view, and I had no opportunity to share my trembling. Consequently, the idea of making a film on this experience emerged. The primary event about the lost installation owing to high tide came from a friend who had worked as an art assistant.
