Wait for me Video

Wait for me

                                                       A video for me is a moving painting. I enjoy using transparency through the use of different layers, all elements, drawings, images are assembled like in brash strokes of paint. My intention is to achieve a video comparable to something hand made, more natural and closer to real emotions and profound ideas. Most of the elements used in each video come from a profound introspection, with the deep desire for evolution and growth. It is a search in which I incorporate images from my life’s journey, I try to create my own poetics and symbolism. There are many recurring elements and themes all connected to a life’s journey. What I associate here are the elements of loneliness and togetherness, the need of the one or the other to be caught up in different states of desire, need/wanting/wait. The view of the sea is seen as a primordial element but always pierced by a boat that is the expression of life’s journey and also of its passing, it represents the transitional element into the two worlds. The mountain and the rock express the stability, the other primordial energies that the earth gives us are there, it is also our propulsion force. All reflections and projections of different states of waiting are condensed in the wait to make a next step. Despair and hope are both parts of the same journey. The mystery of life is the carousel which we all board and discover a secret and find innocence and butterflies. It can also be quite confining, like a fish that tries to escape his cup and goes deeper into the water but we all wish to see enlightenment in the end of a pyramid. All can be at peace, with trees and blue sky and people make children and children make hopes. Maybe the city can become a different fresco or a more delicate Japanese stamp. It is all recreated through creativity and the need to invent and finding the right way to use it. As angels can guide us we should just learn to listen.
