'Somewhere Along The Way' - A Visual Poem

  • Panashe Paradza

I decided to produce a poem that I felt would help others ignite a spark within themselves. The intention of this spark was to bring about a realisation of internalised social conditioning. The final statements aim to drive home a hard-hitting acknowledgment of how we all hold ourselves back. I combined the audio (narrated + written by myself) with various clips (sourced and sequenced by myself) including footage from @pinkflamingousa 's famous car meet-ups. Some of the footage was filmed by myself and taken from my camera roll. The backing track is the instrumental to 'Slide On Me' by Frank Ocean.
