Shot in black and white, Invisible merges performance art and personal documentary to reflect personal and shared experiences during the military coup. Set in an abandoned building where many young revolutionists sought refuge, the seemingly invisible experiences of displacement, loss, suffering and anger are made visible through words and subtle movements.

Director's Statement:

After the military coup in Myanmar, many young people left their homes to join the resistance. They left behind their families, memories, and the lives they once imagined for themselves. Some, missing home and with no paper to write on, left messages on walls along their journeys. These traces became small acts of remembrance—ways of speaking to a home they might never return to. Through these writings and the stories behind them, I want to explore the quiet human cost of war: longing, loss, friendship, fear, hope, and the transformation of identity. This film is my attempt to remember those who left, and to listen to what they left behind.
