Director Statement

As a filmmaker, I have always been drawn to stories that explore the depth of human emotions and the subtle beauty in everyday connections. This music video is a reflection of that. Through the lens of a solo female traveler exploring Greece, I wanted to capture not only the physical journey but also the emotional and spiritual journey of a woman embracing her freedom and independence.

When the protagonist meets the young girl, it is more than just an interaction between two individuals. It symbolizes the passing of wisdom, strength, and hope from one generation to another. The act of flying kites becomes a powerful metaphor for women’s freedom, dreams, and the shared joy of overcoming life’s challenges. The setting of Greece, with its timeless beauty, serves as the perfect backdrop to highlight both the inner and outer exploration of our lead character.

This video is a celebration of the courage it takes for women to break free from societal expectations, to explore the world on their own terms, and to inspire the next generation to do the same. I hope this story resonates with everyone who watches it and reminds them of the importance of freedom, connection, and the beauty of simple, shared moments.
