"Whilst staying for 3 months in New York City in 2014, I noticed that the city had a unique presence of psychic stores. Seeing their signs on the streets reminded me of how my mother used to sell power stones, herbs and spiritual material in Tokyo. My mother became interested in psychic spirituality after she went through a hard situation, she became engrossed in its power. When I told this story to my friend Lauren who lives in New York, she was surprised and told me she had just been to psychic therapy to try to get a bad romance off her mind. We started to talk about love which we lost and the possibilities of new love. Sometimes you have to rely on things you can’t see in life, like the power of the psychic. This video is about the tension between real and illusionary life, irremediable sadness and women dealing with difficulty. The actress in the film is Lauren mixed with her interpretation of my mother’s story." -UMMMI.
