Recalibration of peripersonal space

Taking walks in nature This gesture provided an outlet from the confinement of my room ever since the start of the pandemic and I had the privilege of performing this gesture at least once a week to keep myself grounded. It allowed me to recalibrate my peripersonal space and I became more aware of the sounds of cicadas and attained the ability to smell rain before a downpour. The footage of the video is recorded by a dear friend of mine, Ye Thu, who braved the mud and lost his spectacles somewhere in the middle of Clementi Forest. The sound accompanying the video is a snippet from the live recording of the song "Somewhere" by Kin Leonn which I have been listening to a lot to sit down and contemplate.
