The Instrument
Encapsulation
Revealed through the eyes and motions of a single character; the 'dreamer', Encapsulation sets a journey through a maze of totemic symbols, unfolding multiple psyches inside its labyrinth. Embodying imagery while layering tangible and sonic-hypnotizing environments, the work roots a deep ancestral gaze onto the far future. A hybrid of ancient myth and science fiction which exposes striking visuals of ritual, poetry and apocalypse.
