The short documentary arthouse film is based on my installation.
It consists of the visual aspect, where on the branches of a white tree, instead of leaves, there are shotgun shell casings smeared with paint. The tree branches symbolize the path of life, and the shell casings represent the opinions of others that shoot at our dreams, causing us to feel ashamed and give up our own. These opinions can be beautiful, but they are not our own. Afterward, we start to aspire to the imposed ideals, following alternative branches, but, having achieved success in them, we don't understand why we are not happy. The same happened to me. One day I felt the opinions of others like gum stuck to a shoe, which can be scraped off at any moment to walk your own path. This is precisely why the shell casings have the color and scent of gum - "bubble gum".
Second Part – an audio component recorded with binaural microphones in the ASMR format, creating an immersive experience when listened to with headphones. The audio consists of answers to questions I pose to interesting individuals I encounter in my life. These questions are about love, life's journey, the meaning of life, our perception of reality, and questions that immerse us in childhood memories and help us recall our dreams. Once, upon asking these questions to myself, I began to notice changes in my life.
