Let Us Part Ways After This Last Smoke 2022

Moving image, Single-channel Video
Duration: 01:33


"Just one more cigarette, and then I’ll leave," I tell myself. But time and time again, that promise dissolves into the flow of conversation, and before we know it, we’ve gone through ten, twenty, maybe thirty more. As the smoke spirals upward, we keep talking, each topic seamlessly leading to the next, as if we could postpone our goodbye forever. In those moments, I can’t help but wonder: if the last puff truly marks the end of our time together, could an endlessly burning cigarette stretch that time, holding the moment in suspension? If only this wistful thought could come true—I imagine the cigarette burning ever so slowly, defying the clock, keeping us together a little longer. Because right now, I’m just not ready to say goodbye.
