BE explores the inner dialogue of depression and anxiety and how pain can be used for purpose when we choose to seek light amidst darkness. The contrasting inner senses of panic and peace are conveyed through the sensory elements of sound and lighting. This is important especially in today's current events, and the issue of injustice that has existed for far too long. Watch it through the lens of mental health. Then watch it through the lens of the oppressed. It is the same narrative. We have a longing for hope in our world. Mentally and physically. We hope this inspires and helps you as much as it has for us. If you are struggling with these issues and are in need of help, please reach out to someone. You are not alone.
