For this video, Kim Noriega created an original poem based on a short film directed by Michelle Tsiakaros, and recited it as a voiceover for the video. Kim writes, "I felt strongly about working within the framework of the film, in essence using it as a strict poetic form. This forced me to focus on compression and diction, which of course is true in poetry anyway, but with the images already chosen, there were limitations other than just space. I had to think in new ways. The reverse-visual poetry process was exacting and exciting. I feel like both the film and the poem stand alone and are more than the sum of their parts together.
