A sensory exploration of the forest and the tensions found within. A world of loss and gain, growth and disappearance across cycles of life and death
A sensory exploration of the forest and the tensions found within, “Osmosis” interweaves images of pure chlorophyll with the dense blackness of post-wildfire forests. Captured on 16 mm film, the dynamics of these cycles of life and death are amplified by a soundtrack that seeks to convey alternating sensations of anxiety and appeasement. Through the combination of images and soundscapes, Osmosis establishes a cinematic mood that speaks for itself.
