THE SUN, an integral part of Angie Su’s trilogy focused on women’s consciousness, merges the traditional Japanese art of Ikebana, known for its emphasis on spatial harmony, with the poignant journey of an African American woman apprenticing in this art.
This film transcends mere storytelling, becoming a visual poem which captures a journey that is as much about physical movement as it is about spiritual growth. Through metaphors, it intricately weaves together the threads of memory and sensory experiences, guiding the viewer toward themes of transformation and self-discovery.
