Far and Near, You and Me is about the beauty of the constant choices that we all make when we are in front of each other, what we choose to cover and what we reveal. It represents a personal understanding about the beauty of distance between people and the way we interact with each other. It reminds us that we have met so many people from all over the world. We all come from different cultures, have different nationalities, skin colors and languages. It is about meeting and forgetting, the memories of those people in our lives.
