Swallow Dance
Open and close. A shared spiritual engagement between a boy and the Swallow.
"Swallow Dance" is a sincere and honest culmination of themes centered around the experience of letting go. It is a visual expression of vulnerability, sacrifice, and union inspired by Japanese films, Claude Monet, and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince".
The film is an attempt to understand what the act of 'healing' means for me and growing into my own self-worth, leading to this fantastical visual metaphor for emerging out of my shell with the imaginary guidance of a higher power.
With this swallow dance, I release the full sincerity of my open heart.
