The poem itself, I did not know in any way how I could translate to video. While Whyte wanted to know if you know how to fall toward the centre of your longing, I wanted to know what the hell he was talking about. So I latched onto the final words of the poem, “centre of your longing”, and pondered on the centre of my longing. I think to how I’m always a bit of an outward looking, non-patriotic person, and being unable to go anywhere else in the world has increased a sense of everything seeming so far away. If I was to long for anything, it would quite literally being running away to a far away country, so I simply edited together a few clips from a trip to Japan I had a few years ago. It was one of the first times I felt wholly independent, being on a school trip yet having freedom to explore, learn, and connect with new people. That freedom is somewhat lost on me nowadays. So I suppose there is a significant longing there.
