"3:45" by Alisha Liu

CalArts animation student Alisha Liu created a gentle, optimistic short film called "3:45." I will say that I do what the young character in this film does, but instead of seeing one side or the other, I usually see both...at the same time...macro and micro...welcome to my head...

The Experience

“You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”
--Albert Camus

“In Zen, we don’t find the answers; we lose the questions.”
--Zen saying

Wading Through Time

“The years teach what the days never know.”
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

“There comes a time when we realize that our parents cannot save themselves or save us, that everyone who wades through time eventually gets dragged out to sea by the undertow- that, in short, we are all going.”
--John Green, in his book LOOKING FOR ALASKA

Who you are and who you will be...

“There’s a moment for everyone when you fall into your own shadow and the fact is that it’s your shadow and you’re forced to live in it. And this is nothing to celebrate or not celebrate. It simply is.”
--Robert Rauschenberg

“I have crossed over to a place where I never thought I’d be. I am someone I would have never imagined. A secret. A dream. I am this, body and soul. Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am.”
--Alice Hoffman, Incantation
