Through bold images and careful metaphor,
Soleil illustrates the dizziness of a toxic relationship
and the powerlessness in the face of the Other,
the invisible presence that casts a shadow with every step.
I wanted Claudia to lead the video. She embodies a badass: sensual, feisty. A pure expression of healing and self empowerment.
It’s extremely violent but without being graphic. Everything is implied.
When you’re in a toxic relationship, there are highs and lows. This is what I wanted to convey with the extreme camera angles.
The blue corresponds to cold reality while the red alludes to the burning passion in the relationship.
I love the people with whom I work, they are all so passionate and talented.
