Exploring chromatics through representations of cultural identity, race and celestial interconnection. Images and scenes focusing on Brown and Black people in India and England are juxtaposed with a central text and sound composition.

Using sound loops created from a rich personal archive of sonic references, this short film reflects on the constant search for a sense of belonging. A personal cultural journey of returning to England after having lived away for a total of twenty-three years.
