Pulsing solar forms dissolve into delicate architectures of retinal veins. This film exists in a space between the vast and the intimate - where blood-like droplets become celestial bodies and fractures in film emit light like distant stars. Without mediation of a camera the film collapses distance between observer and observed, macro and micro. 

The soundtrack is composed of electromagnetic recordings of lightning particles moving through Earth's ionosphere. These atmospheric discharges manifest as ethereal frequencies, creating translucent layers of sound that deepen the film's chromatic energy.
