Songs of Innocence:
Songs of Innocence traces one woman’s struggle to negotiate between her simple outlook of innocence and that of growing up and accepting differences and difficulties. Her joy/idea of innocence is portrayed from the start of the video which grows into the process of growing older and accepting her realities.
Careless Marriage:
What happens when you lose control of your senses and make a hasty decision? A result to this video is a simple but monotonous outlook on marriage.
Love is Deceiving Disease:
Silence, Framed, Magic. Three words to define her notion of Love. A young protagonist faces the moment of truth when things start changing and circumstances proved to be ambiguous.
On Confusion:
A lip-sync MTV video specially inspired to create an illusion of confusion for the young actress.
On Guilty Pleasure:
Obsessively fulfilling one’s pleasure is considered a portrayal of a deed done wrong. The young protagonist gorges herself with sweets and sinful treats.
Death is the Beginning:
An experiment on combining performance and installation art, this video takes us through various simple video techniques to illustrate a cyclic attitude to death and rebirth.
