一字千景: a thousand scenes in one word is a community engaged project that aims to connect the Chinese immigrant community with environmental values through calligraphy, drawing, and animation. During two workshops in March and April 2023, the community participants explored their stories with nature through a guided process of brainstorming and imagining with rice paper and ink. These drawings and ideas were the inspiration for the animation (6:33).”
 
The soundtrack for this short animation drew inspiration from the Chinese cultural community that informed the nature of this work. Some recorded sounds included grains of Jasmine rice as well as various material components of the Chinese guzheng (brushing steel strings, knocking wooden bridges).
