Please Wait a Moment for Machine-A
creative direction, photography, video, sound, 3d render and composite
Inspired by Machine-A's legacy of championing emerging designers and celebrating divergent pieces from established brands, this project explores sonder; the realization that every passerby has a life as vivid as our own.
Through carefully staged compositions, I recreate moments when strangers share physical space while remaining psychologically distant. The models embody characters in common urban environments, their intentional gazes revealing active internal worlds.
The audio-visual language in the short film contrasts external stillness with internal motion. Alternating voices and sound design create movement, while the models remain largely idle, prompting the question: Can we ever truly be "just waiting"?
Please wait a moment.
From the outside we may appear vacant,
while we wait.
Our bodies are living and our brain is swimming,
while we wait.
Our mind is active even when we sleep.
Please wait a moment.
How do you wait?
