A music video inspired by Jacob Collier’s song 'Lark in A Sky Shop'. It explores the depth of tension within one’s soul and life, stretched between light and darkness, day and night, oppression and freedom, and the turbulent navigation through it all. It’s about being pressed, found, and brought into a spacious place. It’s a dialogue, a confrontation, a story full of twists and turns, which ultimately suggests the possibility of discovering a source of life, freedom, and everlasting love.
