Form and Abandon is set within an other-worldly architectural complex where a group of expressionless characters enact a series of enigmatic rituals.

While the processes and symbols presented are partly rooted in Serbian mythologies and traditions, each of the personas play archetypical roles that chart universal cycles of progression, regression, fusion, and rupture.

At once futuristic and archaic, the video stages fundamental interactions between visual elements to demonstrate essential principles that transcend time and space.
