ARTIST STATEMENT
Martin is moving out of his apartment, a tiny space in Harlem where they first met each other and fell in love. On the last days in his room, she recounted the many places she has left in the past. How did she say goodbye to them? What does it mean to say goodbye? When we leave a place, what are we really saying goodbye to? In the end, is it ever possible to give proper goodbyes? This improvised film, partially satisfying my own need to document a lover’s apartment, is a futile attempt to part and give closure to things.
