DESCRIPTION

01

Gewalt is a long term project I've been working on for the better part of 2026. I originally set out to create it in a single month in January of 2026, but came down with some health issues during the third week. Everything collected on this page is from those first three weeks (besides the homepage splash).

Morning

Their conversation would play over a sequence that involved the deconstruction, then reconstruction, of geological entities into something completely new.

I thought about harmonics and magnetism as fundamental building blocks of the soul. These invisible forces that exist in varying magnitudes all around us.

What if there was immense power in the unseen? Where aren't we looking as a species yet?

At some point during my creative sprint, I thought about the motivation for creating life. Most of us have the biological drive to do it.

Night's

02—6

Do we chase creation because of ego, or because we have to? Is it so deep in our programming, and are we gentle enough with what we create?

Clouds

02—7

When the lights go out, the past and future meet in an uncomfortable place full of folds. Have our creators been gentle enough with us?

And

And at the end, when we've been deconstructed and reconstructed a thousand times over. When our form finally slips into something completely unrecognizable.

A month is an... ambitious deadline for a 3-5 minute long short film. When I was younger, I'd spend
