Director Statement

Chaotic world always distracts me. I like to stay with the nature, the honest thing I ever feel. The harmony of images and sounds take me to the meditative spiritual journey. This project is my personal and honest attempt of portraying those experiences and the elements of visual poetry. I feel the cinema is a mosaic of natural elements made with time. The relation between the natural element; water and human existence is the soul of the cinema. This film is scripted from my own poem which shows the relation between human and nature. I have attempted poetic narration to express my inner thoughts and serendipity. I want to portray typical Nepali elements in my films through the style of time narration, giving viewers to experience the moment.
