My Skin and I

Young persons eyes looking off to the side. Mysterious vibe.

My Skin and I follows three visual artists in exile as they utilize poetry, therapy sessions and dreams to remain emotionally connected to their destroyed home countries. As the film progresses, a kaleidoscopic view of displacement emerges, drawing similarities and contrasts on the emotional burden of its protagonists through the eyes of movement itself.
