AMBER
SHINING LIGHT

AMBER - SHINING LIGHT 2021

The film Amber explores the expansion and contraction of energy. A protective inner life force that radiates with relaxed strength, to give a shine without acting. Amber is a state of allure, delight and attraction that has more to do with attitude and bearing than with beauty. A sense of intense longing.

Amber is the first part of a new trilogy entitled Shining light. Shining light refers to nature's ability to attract and carry energy, thus preserving products from living organisms and biological processes. Organic materials with this quality can be seen as nature's time capsule, a three-dimensional window to prehistoric ecosystems. An ecological gem made by the sun and the moon.
