About

The Red Strings Between Synopsis

The Red Strings Between explores the ancient East Asian philosophy of human connection through red string. Rooted in the belief that the heart and pinky finger are linked through the ulnar artery, these strings are said to extend out through the unseen world, binding people whose lives are destined to intertwine. While folklore speaks of enduring bonds that may tangle but never break, this work delves deeper, questioning the threads that have evolved beyond intersection. Is this where grief lies? A meditation on connection, displacement and loss, Rachael Li Ming Chong celebrates the arterial bonds we forge with one another, and contemplates the threads whose narratives swell solely in their endings.
