Thinking About Planets Again

“Thinking About Planets Again” by Alih Rosa is licensed under Attribution 2.0 Generic
Created with Capcut for Desktop

In my video, I explore the influence between humans and the planets. Throughout history and across cultures, their presence is everywhere, like mythology, cartoons, philosophy, superheroes, anime, and missions to explore new worlds. We name them and assign them roles in our stories, but I want viewers to think a bit deeper about our relationship with planets. Do they shape us, or do we shape them?

Impermanence and the Discomfort of Change

Mendiola, Viviana. (2026). Impermanence and the discomfort of change. YouTube. CC-BY-SA-4.0.

This video explores impermanence and the discomfort it brings. The imagery shifts between different stages of my life, and it features a historical photograph, urban scenes, travel images, transitions between living and work spaces, and ocean views. The structure is intentionally uneven. It reflects movement rather than stability.

The images in this project are intentionally ordinary—snapshots taken in moments of transition. Their slight imperfections mirror the theme itself: the unease of movement, the unfinished quality of change.

The ocean appears throughout the video as a quiet constant. I have lived in different places and moved through different roles, but the ocean has remained a visual anchor. I have viewed it from different windows, different cities, different moments in my life. It is both the same and never the same.

In contrast, the other images represent change: new environments, professional transitions, travel, unfamiliar spaces. The discomfort of starting over. The unease of movement. The instability of identity shifting.

Impermanence is often framed romantically, but lived experience is more complicated. Change can be disorienting. It can feel like loss before it feels like growth.

The phrase, “impermanence, the discomfort of impermanence,” names that tension directly. Awareness does not erase difficulty. Understanding that everything changes does not make change easy.

The ocean, however, continues. It remains in motion without resisting that motion. In that sense, it represents continuity beneath instability.

This project reflects on the contrast between the constancy of the ocean in my life and the instability of career shifts, movement, and personal transition. Impermanence does not disappear. It reshapes.
