in flux. is a collaborative music video project between myself and Achromatic Solarium, co-directed by Bradley Hoffarth. The video endeavors to depict the tumultuous state of the human psyche suspended between realities.
Following my divorce in 2017, I found myself thrust into a surreal realm where the distinction between waking life and dreams dissolved. The narrative unfolds with eerie ambiguity—a funeral cloaked in mystery, the identity of the departed elusive until the unsettling realization dawns that it may be my own. Lost in a forest adorned with leaves akin to fragments of memory, I grapple with the disorientation of my mind. Amidst this turmoil, a woodland creature lurks, a silent witness to my unraveling.
As I wake up in my own bed, the creature inexplicably materializes beside me, blurring the line between dream and reality. Through the evocative soundscape crafted by Achromatic Solarium, we strive to convey this psychological discord in a visceral sensory experience. Each frame and note captures the palpable unease and disconnect, mirroring the relentless oscillation between truth and illusion.
in flux. transcends mere personal turmoil; it serves as a broader exploration of the fragile boundary between sanity and madness. It invites viewers to confront the visceral nature of existential dread and the enigmatic specter of the unknown that resides within us all.
