Corporeal Instruments

A collection of organic bilateral forms curious to the non-conforming meanderings of the human mind with the task of imitating nature. Made through a semi-conscious meditation on anatomy, proprioception, and somatization, these instruments are deconstructing and re-coagulating into beings, self-aware and aligned.

‘Opun Yor Aeys' a stream-of-consciousness, straight-ahead animated short that serves as a visual elucidatory of the vijñāna layers of consciousness emphasizing the fluid and interconnected nature of consciousness. Through a fragmented narrative shaped by surreal objects, spaces, and anthropomorphic transformations, this experience nudges you to expand and dissolve yourself into a super consciousness by imploring you to open your eyes and then open your eyes beneath them. 

The film is divided into 5 subliminal sequences Birth, Sens, Body, Mind, and Collective. 

Birth takes you through the convulsions of this sentient world, familiarising you with the spaces, objects, and characters that will hold you through a journey of awakening.

‘Sens’ draws parallel to the first 4 layers of the vijñāna model (caksur, ghrana srotha, jihva), uncovering the act of sensing  (sight, smell, sound, taste) as the most direct form of conscious experience.

‘Body’ equivalent to kaya vijñāna is a subtle exploration of how conscious states manifest physically in our bodies, recognizing our body as a tool with which we engage with this interconnected web of consciousness, fragmented and combined, a vessel for the sound. Acknowledging biological sentience and genetic consciousness.

‘Mind’ (mano-vijñāna) Mental consciousness, meta-cognition (perceiving your own perception) Dissolving your being into a cerebral space where you watch yourself seed your thoughts and craft your personalized reality ‘Collective’ (alaya-vijñāna)  Storehouse consciousness, the collective memories of the world, nature, and its people, becoming unified with a super-consciousness that engulfs everything.
