Back to basics

This videography project was done in collaboration with musician and writer Samuel de Weerd.

Nestled deep within the heart of a train station, our subject emerges, his identity hidden. “Back to basics” is an abstract piece, an exploration that unravels the layers of our fast paced existence with a hint of mystique.

In the chaos of commuters, time appears to stretch and contort, movement unfolding in a slow waltz. Every step he takes feels deliberate, a quiet reflection of the anticipation and uncertainty that rules our lives.

The station itself becomes a character in this narrative. Its echoes resonate with the untold stories of countless travelers. Their journeys too are marked by a symphony. A symphony of departures and reunions. The camera becomes a portal to the ethereal. The whisper of his hoody in the breeze, the interplay of light and reflection upon his form, all lend a sense of enigma to the scene.

With each step, we are drawn further into the emotional gravity of the moment. What is he waiting for? What has he left behind? The answers remain veiled in ambiguity, inviting viewers to embark on their own journey of introspection and wonder.
