Imperfect Cosmogony

“Imperfect Cosmogony” is a visually evocative film exploring the chaotic interplay of elemental forces shaping an imagined universe. Through a surreal combination of fire, water, and darkness, it portrays an ongoing cycle of creation and destruction. The narrative is non-linear, reflecting the unpredictable nature of cosmogenesis, and the imagery shifts between the sublime and the ominous, drawing viewers into a liminal space where beginnings and ends blur. With its atmospheric soundtrack and painterly visuals, the film invites contemplation of humanity’s place in an imperfect, ever-evolving cosmos. The interplay of light and shadow becomes a metaphor for existential duality.
