about

"In The Aquarium" explores aspects of life that everyone has experienced; it centers itself around the feeling of uncertainty, and fear of monotony that engulfs those who seek purpose in life. We use an aquarium as a metaphor for a place that is able to contain us without the public being aware of their true potential. We are but fish circling inside a glass bowl, unaware of what is on the outside. These aspects are reflected in Uncle as a ghost trapped in a house unable to bring self-enlightenment, in Fishbowl as a goldfish forgetting its surroundings every time it completes a cycle inside its bowl, The Truman Show as a man living a lie inside of a faux reality, and in Keep it Goin' as a spirit that has given up on it's quest to escape to Heaven or Hell and has become content with eternal purgatory.

Part 2 will be coming soon.
