Blank Canvas

Storyline

In the studio of painter Shun Kumashiro, curls of pipe smoke signal the work that is about to unfold. A line is drawn across a blank canvas, as alternating shots of the painter’s face and the surface reveal moments of pause, contemplation, and exuberance. Colours blend on the palette, and the brush moves swiftly across the canvas, forming a piece shaped through the interplay of image and music.
