Hi! I'm back with a new story, tentatively titled Framing Twilight. Set in a university in 2026 Singapore, the story is told in two parts: Golden Hour and Blue Hour.
Golden Hour follows Japanese music major Fujimoto Mio as she becomes the unknowing subject of fellow student Chen Xingye's unexpectedly famous photography series, which documents "moments before departure" across campus. After discovering that many of the photographs were candid images of her during vulnerable moments after rehearsals, Mio confronts him over the uneasy boundary between artistic observation and personal invasion. Soon, however, they find themselves falling into a twilight haze in the liminal space of the university campus.
Blue Hour, in turn, follows photography major Xingye as he prepares his final graduation exhibition, a body of work that increasingly centers around Mio despite his insistence that it is really about 'distance'. As graduation approaches, he continues documenting their relationship, unaware that he is also recording its ending.
Updates will be sporadic. Thank you for your patience.
