I wanted to use video art to guide people suffering with sleeplessness to an anxiety free night. The film is about not forcing yourself to sleep which never works anyway. I also visually represent the idea of soul fragmentation with two circles as insomnia can often be caused by a ‘tug of war’ between two parts of yourself wanting different things. The coming together of the circles represents me acknowledging each part of my mind’s desires. It ends with a spiritual dream space in-between sleep and awake where I finally drift off.
