I Was Born
Oikari Elina
A man is born on the river. He travels through contrasting landscapes and seasons. The protagonist yearns for the peace of nature but is continuously surrounded by the artificial, while a mysterious figure seems to follow him on his journey.
By merging an existential gaze with surreal landscapes, I Was Born examines the paradoxical relationship between humans and nature.
