2020 16+ 5 min

In this video, life is continuously reborn through the raindrops, through the terrain and into the air. The beauty of this process is juxtaposed with the songwriter’s perspective, someone who is detached and yearning to feel the full breadth of human emotion.

And this with the use of a black-and-white drawing that underlines the pensive atmosphere
