A woman travels, blindfolded, from an ancient countryside temple to a bustling city. Her surroundings change, but her sense of unease lingers. The director uses a distinctively female perspective to combine the past and present, expressing a sense of anxiety that permeated Hong Kong during that particular moment in time.

《她說為何是我》隨一名蒙眼女子在香港街頭摸索前進。影片由一座中式廟宇開始,途經城市各處;只見女子摸着殖民時代與當代建築的牆壁而行,遊蕩在街道,穿越建築工地。當中穿插了不同女子身處香港各種場景的黑白資料片段。

這件作品思索女性身分與政治現實,尤其是 1984 年簽署《中英聯合聲明》、確定香港於1997年主權移交中國的社會餘波。
