Director Statement

The animation grew out of the song’s pulse—it felt alive, almost unstable, like heat vibrating in the air before a storm. I wanted the visuals to echo that feverish tension, where desire pushes toward both connection and self-destruction. Every flicker and shift of color carries that charge: attraction that borders on combustion.
