This piece is a film that depicts people going in and out of doors, but as a door closes, the camera&#8217;s perspective shifts to a different scene, of a different person closing a door. I found this piece enjoyable because of its commentary on such an ordinary thing: doors. Doors act as a performative aspect of our lives, as opening a door creates a new existence on the other side. They act as separators between realities, and this film experiments with the different worlds that doors have behind them. This piece was so thought-provoking, as it made me think about how the fulfillment of all my dreams and wishes could be just behind one door.
