Hard, Hard
This work begins with remembrance. Hard, Hard is a collaborative work by us, musicians waa wei, Rhydian Vaughan (co-composers), and music director George Chen in 2019. During that time, life showed us a stark contrast—joy in celebrating new beginnings and sorrow in saying goodbye to loved ones. The lyrics and melody of this song reflect the cycle of life's disappearance and new beginnings. We then convey these emotions through light. We turn light into a catalyst for memories, creating a scene that includes a desk, kitchen, bus stop, home window, eaves, street corner, streetlamp, and coastline. A tiny point of light slowly drifts among these elements. When the light shines on the home window, it feels like a lamp lit for the return of family members; when it touches the coast, it becomes the final glow of a sunset. Each time the light pauses, a memory is recalled.

Collaboration, for us, is how new connections enter the system. It's not just about making a work— but about building a relationship together. If you're looking for organic and unexpected connections, let's start a conversation.
