Gravity shapes us. From birth to death, what bodies can do is bound by what they weigh. Things fall, softly or heavily, constantly or all at once. Some things are too heavy to carry, or to lift. Some things carry us.

From early on on the process it became clear that Loaded required an organic almost raw aesthetic. The challenge for light within the piece was to develop a strong visual arc that wasn’t too contrived yet still supported the emotional intensity.
