Project Synopsis
This music video takes place in Elana's mind, reflecting her deep anxiety about making life choices. Inside a circular chamber with eleven walls, each path only opens when the shadow of a central pillar touches it—but the pillar is shrinking, and time is running out. Elana hesitates and tries to enter the path leading to the past but fails, collapsing into a dream. In the dream, she reunites with her loved ones, who urge her to choose a path, but when she can’t decide, they leave her behind. Awakening in panic, she sees a shadow moving behind the walls and chases it, only to discover it’s her own reflection at an almost closed path. Embracing herself, Elana takes her own hand and steps into the unknown future.

Description
Elana is caught in the uncertainty of a pivotal moment in her life. She is introspective, thoughtful, and deeply sensitive, yet paralyzed by the weight of the choices before her. Her past experiences have left her cautious, even fearful of making decisions that could lead to disappointment or failure. Elana’s emotional struggle is rooted in her anxiety about the future and her reluctance to let go of the past. Despite being surrounded by people who care for her, she often feels alone, unable to fully trust herself or others. Throughout her journey, Elana faces her fears and learns to confront her inner conflict, grappling with the idea of control versus fate, ultimately finding the strength to move forward.
