'Anchor Point' is an experimental live-action video set between two extreme natural environments. The work follows a man who faces an unexpected crisis illustrated by the forces of nature.

 

'Anchor Point' employs experimental approaches to bring the inner reality of one’s thoughts and feelings to the forefront. In the film, the highly symbolic landscapes of the desert and ocean serve as metaphors for complex internal events—the thoughts, emotions, and experiences of personal turmoil and the process of navigating through it. Its slow-motion pace, meditative oceanic sounds, and initial dissonance with the desert landscape draw viewers deeper into their own reflections.

 

The protagonist's solitary journey may symbolize the struggle against experiencing oppressed intense feelings represented by the ocean, while their absence is symbolized by the desert. More broadly, it can represent the struggle to let go of familiar patterns of thought, behavior, or attitude—what is perceived as safe—and embrace the new and unknown in all its forms.

 

The film takes place in the desert and waters of the ancient Holy Land. The desert and the sea, eternal companions in this land of contrasts, symbolize the stark duality that defines not only the region but also the human mind. Through the lens of the camera, the editing, and the sound, the artwork merges these apparent opposites of desert and sea in various forms, highlighting both their dualities and their interconnectedness. 

 

'Anchor Point' transforms personal feelings into tangible forms, inviting viewers to introspect and contemplate their own experiences of crisis and change within the vast expanse of nature. With its universal themes, the film offers a symbolic narrative that transcends borders between personal and external experiences.
