‘Hey I’m Walking Here’ (2020) shows a truncated frame featuring only a pair of sneaker clad feet walking, running and being dragged across the streets, and in the air, leaving behind a trail of water. The water is a reference the Philippines’ topography which is composed of an archipelago of islands in the Pacific Ocean that are rich in biodiversity and largely reliant on a regional and international tourist economy. Conversely, it acts a reminder of the Filipino guest worker population, who are part of the remittance economy, and have been caught in a limbo overseas due to the challenges of the pandemic.

Hey I'm Walking Here! (2020), inspired by Clar's move to the Philippines, is a video taken at ground level, fixed on the feet and legs of a man who is walking with ease, a struggle at times, a points soaking- and at times almost levitating. To capture this unique perspective, Clar built a film rig a top a rickshaw and filmed a dancer moving along a roundabout in Manila
