Movie
“To me, Hong Kong represents a meeting of the two elements of water and concrete: the natural and manmade fighting for space whilst constantly permeating one another.

The rushing train of thoughts of a young woman in a changing room as she internally debates the line of caring and not caring, telling herself off for feeling self-conscious instead of empowered. A poetic take on the prosaic.
