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

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