Two · Pole
"Short"
Synopsis
Two · Pole explores the emotional polarity that occurs when a person we have a deep connection with, whether it's a friend, family member, or romantic partner, exits our life. This departure can take many forms, including physical separation, the end of a relationship, or even the loss of a loved one. In the absence of this person different feelings can arise. It can be a feeling of loss when this person is no longer there, or a feeling of positive tension when we remember the moments we shared. A quiet place filled with memories is left behind and we are right in the middle of it.
