About this video
Concept "Blasphemy" explores human relationships in the face of adversity, highlighting the challenge of truly surrendering to one another. The concept for the video was to metaphorically depict these relationships, where expectations are sometimes created, only to be deluded in the end. Shifting away from this simplistic approach must start with us. It's a daily effort, a journey, a cycle. In a way, music also serves as a manifesto, a warning, an awakening to this fight against individualism. Based on the introduction, we can consider four parts in the video's narrative: #1 The Decline It all begins with the fall of Man into emptiness, endless and directionless, intoxicated. Later, we realize it's not just one character but several in this mood. #2 The Awakening Suddenly, awakening from this inertia leads us to a new life, a change, and we embark on the path. #3 Knowledge and Change The path will reveal, through light/shadow, the various idolized figures that surround us and limit us. After understanding this reality and presuming the will to change, there will be a paradigm shift. We see these 'statues' being individually destroyed through light. #4 The Light The light emerging from within the statues will create a pattern of luminous rays, and finally, the character will reach the source of light, a source representing love in its essence, the freedom of relationship, purity, and the genuine.
