A video publication about overthinking, something a lot of people experience and what I went through while making the individual works in the video. 

The visuals were created with four specific limits: size (iPhone 11), colour (sea green), shape (circle), and a made-up word (Newslices). The images represent different (mostly negative) scenarios popping through my head which I try to control and tune out using sound. I recorded the sounds in my own surroundings and ordered them from quietest to loudest to represent the building up of noise in my head. Furthermore, I added questions and doubts to show my thoughts while working on this project. 

The text only comes in at the end once there is already a solid foundation of chaos to visualize that at one point, there is no real going back, you are fully caught up in the cycle of overthinking, your mind is racing, and you can’t control where it’s going or what you’re really thinking about anymore it’s just overwhelming and very chaotic. 

The video keeps jumping back to a base visual. This is where it all started but also expresses the attempts of stopping the overthinking and trying to get back on task and focus instead of letting the thoughts take over. The “QUIET” text highlights this as the person is trying to tell their own mind to stop these thoughts and get back to a peaceful mind.
