Synopsis:
Terrestrial brings a series of intimately ethereal moments with the natural world filmed with an iPhone during meditative ritual practices sensitive to the subtle language of the more than human world. The work aims to privilege the perspective of the Earth, smoothly merging human presence with the landscape. Terrestrial highlights the complex magic that surrounds us and our interconnection – not just physically – but emotionally and spiritually with this biosphere.
