paths intertwine between the mountain
villages of guizhou, china, and the urban grids of boston, tracing the
forgotten routes of water. in guizhou, stilt houses rise with the land, while
in boston, water is confined and controlled by human hands. the film explores
how water shapes architecture and memory, blending the seen and unseen, the
natural and the constructed. "to see the unseen" meditates on water’s
quiet persistence -- always flowing, always present, whether remembered or
restrained.
