A group of people float in a body of water, clustering and dispersing into shifting constellations. Cut off from context, this fluid landscape has its own temporality. Seen from above, the scene is tender without becoming sentimental: bodies drifting toward and away from each other like landmasses in motion. In this soft, utopian flow, What Holds Us is a reflection on connection, longing, and the delicate ways in which we find one another.
