A denim jacket that seems out of place in the film recalls the feeling of arriving in England, and the strangeness that can remain years later.

In their words
Artist statement藝術家的話
When I saw the male lead's rugged, torn and, old denim jacket hung at the female lead's opulent house, it appeared very misplaced. It looked very out of place and so it stood out. That reminded me of myself, who also appeared and felt misplaced in this foreign land, the day I first came here, and even now.
About Ayesha Iqbal藝術家簡歷
I am a 19 year old student and this was my first time watching a HongKong movie. My friend introduced it to me, and we watched it together. It's been more than 5 years since I moved to England and yet it feels like only a few months. Even though I've got used to the daily life, every once in a while, it all feels very surreal, that somehow I'm here.
