The command is simple: I film . Not “I remember” or “I write,” but I film . The camera becomes an extension of the eye, a prosthetic memory for a season that refused to behave like any summer before it. My First Summer 2020 — though for many it was not a first summer at all, but a suspension of all summers past — arrives as a translated text. The Arabic phrase mtrjm fasl alany (مترجم فصل الآن) haunts the frame: a season translated, and a translation that exists only in the urgent, trembling present.
And yet. The translation was not only loss. Because fasl alany — the now-season — also gave us a new verb: to quarantine, yes, but also to notice . I filmed a single dandelion growing through a crack in the asphalt of a closed mall parking lot. I filmed my little brother learning to play the guitar, the same wrong chord for three weeks until suddenly it was right. I filmed the evening when the whole neighborhood stood on their balconies and clapped for nurses — a spontaneous chorus of pots and pans, a translation of grief into rhythm.
The footage will degrade. The hard drive will fail. But for one summer, I held a frame around the incomprehensible. And that, perhaps, is what it means to grow up: not to understand the season, but to have filmed it anyway. — An essay in the form of a personal documentary script.
What did I learn from filming? That a first summer can be a summer of first endings . First time watching a funeral on an iPad. First time realizing that “I’ll see you next year” was not a promise but a prayer. The camera does not lie, but it also does not flinch. When I review the footage now — grainy, shaky, too much sky because I was crying behind the viewfinder — I see a young person learning that time is not a river but a series of locked doors. Some seasons do not lead to the next season. They just stop.
So here is the essay, not in words but in the act of filming: The comma is the pause between breaths. The summer is the subject that refuses to conjugate properly. And mtrjm fasl alany is the subtitle that reminds us — every season arrives as a foreign language, and we are all amateur translators, holding our phones up to the world, asking it to please make sense.
The phrase mtrjm fasl alany — “translated season – now” — insists on a double labor. First, translation as carrying across : from the language of normal summers (chlorine, fireworks, flip-flops) into the language of pandemic summers (six feet, PCR tests, case curves). Second, translation as interpretation in the moment , without the luxury of hindsight. We did not know, in June 2020, whether this would be the strangest summer of our lives or the new permanent climate. We were translating a season as it happened, a simultaneous interpretation where the speaker kept changing the script.
When I point my lens at that summer, what do I see? Empty swingsets rocking in a breeze no child dared to touch. A graduation cap tossed in an abandoned parking lot, its tassel like a dead butterfly. The Zoom grid — thirty faces flickering with the lag of rural internet connections. This was not the summer of first kisses or highway road trips. It was the summer of first silences : the first time we heard the absence of traffic, the first time a mask became a second skin, the first time a thermometer at a grocery store door read our inner fever before we even spoke.
To film this summer is to admit that the medium itself is inadequate. Film craves movement — the dolly shot, the pan across a crowded beach, the close-up of sweat on a lover’s brow. But my first summer of 2020 offered only static frames: a laptop on a kitchen table, a hand washing groceries in the sink, a window through which the world looked like a postcard from an extinct civilization. And yet, I filmed. I filmed the way light changed across my bedroom wall from 7 AM to 7 PM. I filmed my mother’s hands kneading bread — an act so ancient it felt like rebellion against the newness of the virus. I filmed the feral cat that adopted our porch, because at least something moved without permission.

Name |
Type |
Multiplicity |
Description |
|
Description |
cyboxCommon: StructuredTextType |
0..1 |
The Description property captures a technical description of the Device Object. Any length is permitted. Optional formatting is supported via the structuring_format property of the StructuredTextType class. |
|
Device_Type |
cyboxCommon: StringObjectPropertyType |
0..1 |
The Device_Type property specifies the type of the device. |
|
Manufacturer |
cyboxCommon: StringObjectPropertyType |
0..1 |
The Manufacturer property specifies the manufacturer of the device. |
|
Model |
cyboxCommon: StringObjectPropertyType |

The System_Details property captures the details of the system that may be present on the device. It uses the abstract ObjectPropertiesType which permits the specification of any Object; however, it is strongly recommended that the System Object or one of its subtypes be used in this context. |
Implementations have discretion over which parts (components, properties, extensions, controlled vocabularies, etc.) of CybOX they implement (e.g., Observable/Object).
[1] Conformant implementations must conform to all normative structural specifications of the UML model or additional normative statements within this document that apply to the portions of CybOX they implement (e.g., implementers of the entire Observable class must conform to all normative structural specifications of the UML model regarding the Observable class or additional normative statements contained in the document that describes the Observable class).
[2] Conformant implementations are free to ignore normative structural specifications of the UML model or additional normative statements within this document that do not apply to the portions of CybOX they implement (e.g., non-implementers of any particular properties of the Observable class are free to ignore all normative structural specifications of the UML model regarding those properties of the Observable class or additional normative statements contained in the document that describes the Observable class).
The conformance section of this document is intentionally broad and attempts to reiterate what already exists in this document.
