A Sanskrit word, Mayavada is the philosophy that the world is an illusion. This film has an intimate quality, where the artist as narrator and image is found revealed at the centre. The narrator role both explains and expands the imagery within the work.
"I explore the narrative where nothing exists without music. The universe itself is said to have been framed by a kind of harmony of sounds, and the heaven itself revolves under the tone of that harmony. In our lifetimes, I wonder that perhaps part of the defence of ourselves as searchers for the elemental, the natural and universal is the sense of our experience of the ephemeral, the esoteric. Shifting visual stimulations are constantly slipping away, only a small window of experience can be captured. Moments which begin and end a universe." (Extract from narrator text)
