A Wishing Well Under the Not A Big Blue Sky

Anson Hoi Shan MAK 2005 U.S. Experimental color 6min
One day I went to LA for audio field recording. I passed by a wishing well in Chinatown and recorded a lot of sound filled with layers which can rever complexity of that area. Actually, recording is a representation of that spar with personal emotion screened and filtered. Not a blue sky is trying to break stereotypes. Under the wishing well, it is filled with all kinds of desires deep inside the heart. That is the biggest irony for an outsider like me.
