Synopsis


Birdsong softens the crowded sorrow at a funeral, where a girl, bewildered, stands amongst the ritual's confusion. Filled with soft strokes and dreamy pencil textures, The Singing of Birds and What is Drifting Away weaves a delicate tapestry of childhood reminiscences and a melancholy so tender.

Lezhi Yu


Lezhi Yu, born in Nanjing, China, has been capturing the connections he has with his childhood nostalgia, and the spaces where he spent time living. During his years at Rhode Island School of Design, Lezhi started his journey to balance careful planning and whimsical intuitions as an animator.
