Skyroads: Belfast
Skyroads is a piece that challenges the focus of perception in everyday life. Its intention is to invite the viewer to journey out of the mundane up into the wide-open sky above.
I shot the base footage on a daily commute, one shared by tens of thousands of residents of Belfast and its surrounding areas.
The treatment of the footage reframes the context, transforming the journey to an endless gentle rising into parting clouds, drawing focus away from the fragments of road and architecture and into the sky.
What is happening in the majestic scattering of greys and blues, what are you journeying towards, who are you becoming today? The possibilities are endless. The sky dominates the view, as I believe our view of day-to-day life can be open, wild, and free.
Yet we are still connected to the earth and the material world, we pass through bridges under streetlights, and around traffic.
The transformation of our world is dependent on the activation of our dreams, living from the fullness of who we are. A commute can become an opportunity to be entangled in the mystery of who we are. To be reminded we are loved, at peace, and free to express who we truly are.
Sky Roads Belfast was created from footage shot passing through a section of motorway that cuts right through the heart of the city. It incorporates iconic landmarks including, Jennymount spinning Mills and chimney, Thompsons' foods factory, and the Obel towel.
Skyroads: Belfast is available for purchase supplied on physical framed video canvas for display in your space and as an nft as evidence that you own the original. Contact me for more information.
