This music video marks my first live-action project, where I directed, filmed, edited, and composed the music. The narrative, improvised without a storyboard, follows a woman on a reflective journey during a train ride. Her introspective mood unfolds as she waits for the train, rides it, and daydreams while gazing out at the changing scenery. The scenery gradually transforms into more abstract visuals, reflecting her evolving state of mind and culminates in a dance sequence that symbolizes her expression of personal liberation.


Notably, she does not look directly into the camera until the very end, which highlights her shift from introspection to openness. As her mood changes, the visuals and editing become more energetic to reflect her growing sense of freedom. The focus gradually moves from her stillness to her feet, which replace the trains as the driving force of the narrative—now her actions advancing the plot, not just her passive observation from the train window.
