So excited to share this stunningly beautiful Music Video for my Enneagram song "Eight", from the gifted filmmakers, EMBARA films!!
Choreographer/dancer/performance artist, Ninus teamed up with the wonderful folks at EMBARA film to make this stunning, one-shot video and I am so honored by their work and inrepretation of my song! Blown away.
In their words: "For us, "Eight" is a very emotional song. It shows a vulnerability and endurance of human beings, for being open, but in other hand, also being defensive and insecure. Its a complicated feeling that some of us feel related to. Ninus created a choreography that represents a dialogue to herself, and the camera acted as "other person" that she communicates with. The choreography is a mix on self-conflicts and on some parts, the interaction with the other (the camera). Sometimes she lets the camera getting close to her, sometimes she stops, sometimes she's moving away; all an expression of the resistance and the acceptance itself.
The location setting also symbolizes the meaning of the song. On the first part, most of the shots are in between the rocks, dark, cold, and it gives a feeling of confined, as being protecting the feeling. But, on the last part of the song (03:22 to end), she dances freely, lively and bravely on a vast open view with a warm morning sunlight to show our openness to the world."
