"The mix of B&W and color and especially the sound do a great job of evoking the history. I had goose bumps while viewing some parts of it. Maybe because of some of my life experiencing in Vietnam during the war, I could well relate to historical aspects of your work. I would like to know more fully what went through your mind when you made the video and how you decided where to shoot and how to shoot the footage. I certainly like the diagonal tower, the intermingling of B&W and color scenes, and the ghost-like figures. The fact that they move backward could be explained by the fact that the video is a visit to history. The birds at the beginning and ending nicely connect the whole piece as well as the past and present together. Great job! I enjoyed this piece a lot."     Hoa Le
