Like a Tongue Knows the Mouth

Time becomes a spiral when a freeway fire causes a city-wide traffic jam, guiding the filmmaker to follow a woman walking through the rain in Downtown Los Angeles. In the wake of her father's death she begins to see herself in stray balloons, empty domestic spaces, and strangers.
Photography is used to capture time before it slips away, to turn oneself into an emblem of a static idea, or to grapple with that which moves outside the frame of comprehension. Ohio descends into the well of grief and brings back the solitude of being human, the presence of absence, and the inescapable nature of the first home.
