 AWAY IS MINE


 

Directed by: Akash Sherman
Produced by: Sara Basso
Year: 2020


‘Away is Mine’ illustrates the voyage of letting go; departing from the stark reality we know, have always known; and into something entirely new.

 

With this departure, arises the journey to acceptance. The void of the “Away” setting is visually distinct; deprived of any familiarity. It is here that we toil and untangle the self and its inner-workings to arrive at embracing letting go. ‘Away is Mine’ is reflective of this universal trek we take to find peace in what’s next, while also paying respect to the departure of Gord.
