Princess (2021)

Princess portraits Jason Vu as he revisits memories of desire from his childhood. Vu finds himself at the crux of past, present, and future, discovering that sanctuary is not a place, but the action of remembering.

Based on the therapeutic technique 'tapping', a form of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) that induces bilateral stimulation to cultivate a neural response for reprocessing trauma.
