In Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha, it says "there is only 'now' for the river." So is the human being that exists in the present with an unchanging nature and a changing state. In essence, people are no different from rivers. Moreover, the river can symbolize a combination of the eternal self and the individual self. The eternal self "Soul" is consistent, while the body self is constantly changing.

In their similarity, a transcendental harmony emerges, which exists in their unity—the world. I am the river. I am part of nature, and I am part of the world. By virtue of the similarity between me and the river, I reach unity with the world to some extent. The latter is changing but eternal and harmonious, and so is myself. Therefore, in this project, I shoot several rolls of continuous images of a river and body movement with an analog film camera. Since the camera has a hand-operated Rotating shutter, the resulting images are directly influenced by my body movements. Some of them became continuous and partially overlapped pictures.
