The Light Of Life, by Director Daihei Shibata

Wonkles — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:00:50 +0000

Marvelous short film, The Light Of Life by director Daihei Shibata.

In his own words:

Life is transparent, warm and swirls randomly like a soft light. And it constantly changes…
Life illuminates itself and then it begins to illuminates a new life.
A sprouted mass of innumerable lights become a flow before long, and then become the part of the life-throb of ages. That ties life, this moment now.
