Experiencing Interruptions?

The World Upside Down

The floating glance of birds inspired us to meet a novel and unique reflection in our work of art.
A weightless, dangle, and upside down glance in the motion picture reveals the hidden layers of the monotonous life, which encourages us toward its intuition and detection; the same as clouds squadron moving under our feet, and the sea with an unstable horizon, and the trees landed from the heaven.
The "upside down world" video, is the result of a two-year-experience of picture collecting with a personal vision and the collection is gathered in the form of upside down for the purpose of
Defamiliarization and the provision of a new glance toward the world around us.
