Senta

Senta is loosely based on the legend of the 'Flying Dutchman', but with a merman. In the past, some sailors thought that if they died they would turn into mermen. However, in the music video, the sailors are symbolized by an office worker who is fired and becomes an alcoholic, the destructive sea is symbolized by the alcohol.

Director Statement

This is my second music video. I choose to go for a more dramatic way of storytelling. And more artistic then I am used to. However I still found a way to make it my own by making it absurd.
