Part personal diary and part meditation on the everyday, the footage for this project was accumulated in nine-minute increments over the course of the number of days and the two seasons named in the title. Condensed into the 16 minutes of the final piece, the seemingly simple and sometimes even banal individual moments take on greater significance through cumulative impact and the mental connections each viewer discerns or constructs. (video, 16 mins.)
