Synopsis:
What would we see if we could peek into the soul of the universe itself? What would its feelings be? Is there anything that would fascinate it and matter to it? Is ephemeral life something unique to an empty eternity, or is it a mere glimpse in the never-ending darkness? An abstract, meditative story about all that ever was and ever will be.

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.
