Say My Love is a short film centered on the desire for love. It explores yearning and intimacy as feelings that can be found in nature’s interactions — beach waves clashing against a sandy shore, or rain falling and sinking deep into the earth’s core.
These natural contrasts can offer a reflection into the nature of human relationships.
“You can not know light without understanding the concept of the dark. They both need to be present to understand the function of both beings. And the way I think of this in the idea of having a desire for love, is experiencing a calling, or instinctual longing to connect with another because it’s in your being, like puzzle pieces coming to completion. That instinct being why your desire for love exists in the first place. We are all just one big puzzle.
And think about earth’s function.
I believe when scaling into the environment around you and studying the way trees, plants, and atmospheric elements support one another, there is a revealing of the way humans are to love one another. Nature has seamless function, down to the smallest microscopic detail it is in bearing of its peers, and there are no questions as to why it is of aid. This is love, this feels like connection.
And I feel when humans love this way, it is something beautiful. It brews an energy of joy, stability, and experience. It causes a leaning into the magic that is living.”
The three-minute film combines a motion-collage of layered video fragments featuring beaches, waterfalls, rainfall, and lush greenery, interwoven with the artist’s own personal footage.
The accompanying sound piece—also created by the artist—layers vocal elements to build an immersive, atmospheric environment, deepening the sense of longing carried by the imagery.
