    Island on Land

    Island on Land unfolds as a visual symphony, inviting viewers to delve beneath the surface of our industrial reality and uncover the hidden beauty and complexity within. Influenced by my childhood experiences with the industrial environment, the film weaves together dream scenarios and transitions, reflecting a dual perspective on existence.

    The "INDUSTRY" segment of the film presents a world of machinery, factories, and labor, the past and present realities of a world dominated by human-made objects and industrial activity. In contrast, the "PRISTINE" segment of the film delves into dreams—fantastical realms born of personal experiences and desires. These dreams offer a counterpoint to the industrialized reality, presenting a pure, untouched world of magic and freedom. They serve as a refuge from the harshness of the environment, offering glimpses of hope and inspiration amid the mundane.

    Through Island on Land, I endeavor to reconcile these opposing realms, exploring the place where the industrialized and the pristine collide and where reason intersects with the irrational. The film is a testament to the complexity of human experience, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between reality and imagination and the transformative power of dreams.
