My relationship with my sister is something very dear to me, and something I felt I needed to reflect upon and explore through my art. Since young, we have been very close, spending most of our time doing everything in each other’s company. As time went by, we got caught up in schoolwork and friends, my sister and I began to drift apart, no longer interacting with each other like we used to. Through my coursework, I’ve explored the things that hold us together and the things driving us apart, our shared memories as well as perceptions of each other.

At the end, the video ends with acceptance. I was selfish for not realizing that she was loving me in her own way. Thus I tried to reconcile with her by giving her the toy and moving towards her to hug her to show her I love her strongly and I am contented to have her.
