Before We Become Strangers

by Zitong Wu

Before We Become Strangers is a VFX-driven poem on the intricate geometries of human interaction—a radiant moving sculpture celebrating the beauty, complexity, and introspection found in our fleeting crossings. The work speaks to the mysteries written into our shared consciousness—the impossible shapes of feeling that appear and disappear between what we know and what we can never fully grasp. It is an invitation to linger in the unknown, to feel the warmth and the cold, and to recognize that every intersection, no matter how fleeting or unresolved, carries within it a fragment of the universal and the deeply personal. The moment passes. The gaze remains. Where every encounter contains, within it, its own quiet farewell. Where to be seen, even briefly, even imperfectly, is its own form of grace.
