See Through the Hollowed Blue Hellebore
Jiayi CHEN • 2026
The summer light endlessly scatters across river rocks, moss, and lichen, flickering on a land breathing under its own memory. Shot in the remote wilderness of southeastern Alaska, See Through the Hollowed Blue Hellebore draws from local oral narratives tied to glaciers and the land, intertwining echoes of Tlingit language. Floating, utterance stretches, repeats, and resonates, summoning a sensory journey through flora and fauna. Beneath each surface: a glacier receding, a body remembering.
