'Carpe Diem' ( part #1 )

'Carpe Diem' is the conceptual, experimental non-narrative trilogy, which exhibits the great performance of Li Kehua as a young woman, who wishes to draw attention towards the silent, brave occurrences of nature, by unleashing the unlimited within the wild, the human and herself.

Out of the realm of the unconventional cinema, this film’s classical visuals highlight nature's brilliant theatrical displays as they defy the laws of the contemporary urban-driven mindset. This is a simple story articulated by dance, which describes a journey of self-exploration through the concepts of unity and interdependence between nature and humanity as they both evolve and intertwine through different forms of their existence.

It reconstructs faith as an exercise of movement, rebirth and exuberance carefully orchestrated, and conveying a transcendent experience of innocence that draws strength and beauty from the unrestrained and the unspecified within the wild.

The trilogy calls us to revive our inner debate around the intangible anthem we recognize as the force of living, and asks us to rise above our habit of holding on to memories and to what is familiar. It emphasizes the dichotomy of being entangled in our own roots versus the need to evolve, to dare and to break the shackles that bind us. We are also reminded of Nature’s perpetual cycle of growth, teaching us that uncertainty and ultimately sorrow can be transformed into a force of hope and belief.

As the trilogy embarks on a continuance of motion and harmony, the visual and musical compositions are elevated due to the careful fusion of timing and dynamics, as if urging us, the viewers, to make the best out of our destined years, to respect nature and to change our ways of interconnecting.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
