Bryan Away: The Lake
2020 16+ 5 min
by Qianwen Yu
Lake is liquid, inanimate, emotionless. Like blood flowing through a body, the water circulates and sustains, bringing life to its surroundings. 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.

It captures the bleakness of giant housing estates, feelings of loneliness, alienation and anonymity in overcrowded cities, as well as the desire to return to nature, harmony and simplicity. And this with the use of a black-and-white drawing that underlines the pensive atmosphere
