Video art consists of cyclical video accompanied by a soundtrack, exploring the process of healing, the outcome of which remains open.
The narrative of «Dear Friend» is a story about two people—one of whom is lost, and the other tries to bring them back to life. One of the protagonists, as if returning to a source, attempts to restore the connection and bring back what was once alive and real through an intimate, almost ritualistic gesture: washing.
The other heroine, however, remains passive—she offers no resistance but also provides no help; she simply exists within this space. Will this end? Can the person bring their friend back?

The soundscape reflects the feelings of a dejected heroine. The recurring sound of water from a shower establishes a context of privacy—a discreet sound that takes on a new, unfamiliar subtext, and it also functions as an acoustic timekeeper. Sounds from a minor cello transition into the scratching of a violin, reflecting pain and helplessness, after which a minute of resignation arrives—and so it continues in a loop.
