This video piece utilized writing as a form of self-erasing diary by the artist. Writing in Japanese on clear film, Takahashi wrote out anecdotes, quotes, memories and thoughts, methodically communicating her experiences until she was obscured behind a wall of unreadable text. She explored contradictions between expression and obscurity, facing reality and escaping, and facing and insight through this work.
