The excitement of something new and the sentimental feeling of letting go' is how growing up feels like according to Aniq Suhair. Melancholic, isn't it? Childhood, a treasure trove of memories, may appear distant for some, yet it forever resides within us, waiting to resurface whenever we find solace in our most comfortable moments.
On set the luminous personalities of Jack Gohr, Zhen Ning, and Aniq Suhair converge, weaving their own tales of boyhood and their personal definition of home. "Home is not always a place for me, it is the people that make it" described Ning. "It is a sense of safety and familiarity. A dining table with my family, sharing food and laughter. That's home".
If there's one thing Aniq, Jack and Ning share in common, it is their sense of playfulness and being carefree that warms every space they're in. As the crew prepared for the shoot, we couldn't help but notice the trio's joyous fascination with the paragliders gracefully soaring through the skies above. In that moment, Ning's eyes gleamed with excitement as he said "Oh, I must join them!" And without skipping a beat, Jack chimed in, "Why not? We can do that right after the shoot." The two shared a knowing glance with a mischievous grin.
Under the sun, surrounded by meadows, we look back at Aniq's experience of boyhood. What does he think of the teenage version of him? He was the life of the party. "I'm always up for some fun and I think that got me into a lot of silly troubles back then" he playfully scrunches his nose, evoking fond memories of his past. "I had the best five years of high school. But you know what? I think I am still living my best life at 23. After all, age is just a number, isn't it?" A hint of a smile plays on his lips as he raises his left eyebrow, a subtle challenge to the notion of growing older dampening the spirit of youth.
