Eternal River (2024) Jade Sim
"I - Jade, and Jihyun Sim - am a multi-media artist exploring trauma through film and performance. My process is deeply rooted in an awareness of the nuances of emotion and the enduring impact of past experiences. As I navigate the emotional landscape shaped by the historical extraction of my family from their land over decades, my documentary delves into the profound impact of loss and deprivation. By exploring the practice of naming, I aim to uncover the roots and legacy of generational trauma."
