Experiencing Interruptions?

TIDAL

A video poem in five parts, Tidal explores ideas of Buddhist karma and the possibilities for transformation. Using images of ocean tides and the metaphor of waves as unrelenting karmic forces, the lyric sequence moves through the human experience of birth, ignorance, awakening, and rebirth in a narrative in which the film's speaker emerges to reclaim her karmic destiny.
