The color and sound make it feel almost tactile, as if the images are popping right off the screen. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the visuals and sounds, which is kind of meditative.

You can tell they played with practical effects to enhance those water visuals, which gives it this raw, organic feel. There’s an artistry in its simplicity that really makes it stand out in a collection, especially for those who appreciate experimental works.
