A Broken Heart is Like a Long Walk is a 3-channel video installation that explores fragmented, nonlinear auditory memory and emotional experience. Each channel presents a partial narrative that, together, reflects on loss and recall.

Inspired by early cinema’s intertitles, the work repurposes text from contemporary horror film subtitles to describe imagined or remembered sounds. These fragments become “acoustic shadows,” as described by sound theorist Brandon LaBelle—traces of sound that shape perception through absence and invite viewers to listen through reading.

Visually, unreplaced green screens serve as symbolic spaces for subconscious projection, evoking the inner landscapes of memory and emotion. The installation reflects on heartbreak as a scattered constellation of memories, continuously reshaped by time and perception.
