The pieces are a meditation on both the vibrance and dullness of life. It does not focus on the contrast between the two, but rather, is an examination of the entity which emerges when both are considered equally. It is the understanding that one day, as the name suggests, we will go to a place where none of this ever happened.
It is the rumination on the reality of the impermanence of life, the certainty of death, the desire to make the most out of the love + life we experience, and how these thoughts lurk in the mind at all times.
It is an exposé on what this experience looks like through our eyes, as I try to model the perfect example of what we'll miss, what we've experienced--everything, before we die our respective deaths.
It is an experimental project, existing as an attempt to reach deep into the crevices of the mind responsible for longing for a reality in which time can last forever, but is also an effort to remind the consumer of their very impermanence on this plane, and the unknowingness of what happens to all that happened to us after we pass away. It is composed of mundane clips of daily life/social interaction, shot on an array of different handycams.

This project is not complete. It never will be--until I go to a place where none of it ever happened. It is lifelong, and the library of videos is ever expanding. It will grow as my artistic abilities do, and as I experience life.
This project takes inspiration from 2:22 AM, by Alice L.
