Alternative Titles: Life/Death: a poetic video trilogy

Suicide Note is a mental state portrait of a survivor, revealed through a silent meditation with a fantastical bird. Each place – Hong Kong, Peterborough, Toronto – characterizes a fragment of the poetic trilogy and serves as a stand-alone video poem.
