Director‘s Statement:
As human expansion and climate change shrink natural habitats, the land struggles to rejuvenate. Amidst this fragility, Daze’s camera, a rare presence on the grassland, does more than document; it sparks reflection and quiet action.
The Tibetan nomadic philosophy of living in harmony with all beings, combined with the camera’s power to inspire change, moved me to pick up my own camera. Not just to witness, but to join the conversation between people, land, and the future.
