What do we see:
Darkness. Then, the stars, galaxies, the universe. A human being, a personification of the cosmos, crouched on the "floor" - but actually amidst the stars. Her nudity represents innocence and purity.
Slowly she rises up. Representing the birth of the cosmos. Other visions of stars, skies, parts of the galaxy fade in and end, showing an eternal flow.
Another personification, male, appears, and proceeds with the ritual.
He fades out. She fades in. She begins to dance - a cosmic dance, a cosmic ritual.
Other celestial bodies appear. The moon. The sun. The galaxy. And now we realize - just as the "human" bodies, these celestial bodies have begun their dance too.
All becomes one in the rhythmic motion of the universe.
Until everything fades to black, and the timeless cycle begins anew
In both the video and the accompanying music, there is a strong focus on dual motifs. Two cosmic dancers - masculine and feminine. The sun and the moon. The light of the stars and the darkness of the night.
In the music: two different sets of drums. Two bass rhythms on multiple octaves. Two different harmonies and melodies. And both the video, and the sound, follow a complicated "call and response" theme.
Showing the seemingly opposing, but actually unified nature of reality.
Two opposing forces - becoming a whole through the ritual of a cosmic dance.
