Director Statement

The drawings in the music video create evolving and moving images, touching the realm of childhood and play, between compressed and suffocating despair and the openness and breeze of change and hope.
The image of the girl consists of many alternating drawings, creating an elusive vision, simultaneously present and absent, formed and disconstructed.
