This project began with a different intended focus. A few months ago, Chiyo came back from China (her last video here) and we wanted to convey what she had seen and heard in her travels there. In our concept planning stages a different story began to emerge.

As we began brainstorming and diving into what was on her heart, a central theme surfaced and we ran with it. As Chiyori.A prepares for her year long trip starting next month, she offers a glimpse into her struggles, fears, and ultimately, her source of comfort.
