Artist Statement:
The film presents the feeling at the center of our body. It is a surreal and beautiful journey through the inside of a human body. The organs are surrounded by flowers, nerve bundles are presented in an abstract way, like particles and other abstract shapes flowing across the screen. Audiences can escape from reality and experience the psychedelic journey that focuses on their inner feelings.
