Merge —Mental health awareness project

Based on an original poem by Olivia Wong, this experimental film project was made for Mental Health Awareness Month in May 2023.

Merge is about shedding the old version of ourself to step into our high-self, our light, and our power. This metamorphosis can be uncomfortable, scary, and totally nonlinear. More than shedding though, this piece is about becoming whole. We may leave the darkness, but darkness never leaves us. It’s a weight we all carry forward, but it’s not a burden. It’s the mirror we look into to see how far we’ve come, how much we’ve changed, and how far we have left to go.
