PEACE PIECE

Kaya Joy Tsurumi
Duration: 6:01

PEACE PIECE is a short film made by Kaya Tsurumi and Taitania Higuchi. This film is loosely based on Kaya’s experiences folding origami throughout the course of the pandemic, and a collection of her photographs featuring paper cranes in spaces that feel like home. Unravelling, settling, repeating, fitting in - all aspects of the comforting mechanism that Kaya finds in the Japanese craft of origami, specifically the symbolic and iconic “tsuru” (crane). PEACE PIECE hopes to inspire the viewer to consider the great joys of their everyday activities.

This film was made with the support of Dance West Network's 2021/2022 Ancillary Project, which involved a mentorship with Lisa Gelley, collaboration with Taitania Higuchi and writing by Sarah Wong.

OUT OF: BREATH

"I'm never good enough..." OUT OF: BREATHE presents anxiety-related bodily movements through collage, animation, and experimental soundscape. This film documents and celebrates the recorded movement of the body as it goes through extreme breathing patterns and out-of-body experiences. Breathing, very much like our day-to-day emotions, is something often overlooked when everything is going fine. Until incidents such as anxiety attacks eliminate the normal breathing pattern, it then places a person in the most vulnerable position gasping for air. This film explores the idea of being "out of breath and unable to breathe" from both physically and emotionally challenged perspectives.
