Production Process
We wanted the visual component of the piece as an integral part of the performance rather than just a backdrop. And to fully take advantage of the size of the screen to create emotional impact and visual contrast, we wanted to experiment with something that people typically wouldn't see at a large scale.
We were inspired by some beautiful ink drop footage we found and felt that its organic quality and temporality match with our concept of showing the ephemerality of life. Hence we narrated the story through ink drops.
