Drawn from a personal period of emotional unrest, Wake Me Up In A Week explores the disorienting and suffocating nature of anxiety through abstract storytelling and symbolic imagery. Water functions as a recurring motif throughout the film, representing both tranquility and emotional overwhelm. Artificial and unnatural water sources mirror the anxiety of city life, while natural landscapes and sounds reflect moments of peace, memory, and dissociation. Rooted in my experience of moving from an island environment surrounded by nature to New York City, the film speaks to the loss of open space and the search for new forms of escape and grounding. Through the use of color theory, projection, and surreal visual language, the film captures the emotional contrast between confinement and release.
