DESCRIPTION

                JOURNEY is a 4 min. immersive experience, telling the story of photons, primary elements of light, from the moment they approach the eye until the brain reconstructs them into perceivable forms.
                Our journey begins with the formation of photons in blank space. The photons approach the eye, and we find ourselves in the capillary structure of the iris, the eye's gateway for light. 
                The next stop for the light particles is the lens, which has a more crystalline form. We find ourselves in a refractive, fractalized environment. With an accelerating pace, we move towards the optic nerve, gradually becoming thinner and eventually transmitting the light particles towards the neurons. 
                Photons are now signals, transmitted to the brain by their neuron guides. When they reach the sensory mechanism in the brain, light finally begins to generate explicit forms and perceivable images.
