Director Statement

This project is sort of a reaction to the recent era we are living in, of isolation and lockdown, and it performed like a fortress for me in the foreign country i'm currently living in - The Netherlands. In the year of 2020, without speaking the tongue, barely knowing anyone, and without a steady job, I felt as if I'm walking completely alone. While working on this music video, which started as pure improvisation, I started to question about the meaning of being alone, and what is the significance of expressing myself through art, in my own survivability.
