This project, Escape, is about... well... escaping from the overwhelming pressure of the world around you. There are many different ways to do this, some people exercise, others paint. Here, we have a high school girl using music as a means to escape, relaxing after being immersed in it for a little while. High school is one of the most intensely stressful times in a person's life, all the exams, the expectations to pass and pass well, to keep up with extracurriculars at the same time. It's a whole lot of pressure on one person, and it's applied to everyone, so it's a sort of shared experience for all those people. It's isolating, in a way, which is why the students around her are grey, and their faces aren't there. She escapes to a world of her own where she can just relax, not having to think about all these stressful things. Even for a short time, it's relieving. That world of her own is an open field with a breeze blowing through, no other people, just space.
