A love story with alcohol
Satori with his adolescent aspirations of becoming a rockstar starts to emulate the lifestyle instead of the music. Focusing entirely on showmanship and pretension — Unapologetically free flowing and in perpetual celebration he persists until the fiends of his mind come a-knocking, voicing their malevolent malcontent to his drunk and delirious thoughts.
At its core the Thousand Arms deals with the issues of early age addiction and the subsequent mental health consequences that it entails and is narrated in a blend of surrealist and magical realism.

Wu Wei
A blossom floating,
in the void.
Deep meditation.
Lightening slip through his eyes as they open. Butterflies rise in sudden realisation. A string of pearls moves down from the fractal.
Breathing.
The petal touches his palm. Awakening.
His skin breaks into a wild mesh of butterflies — dispersing the self.
He has returned to the symbols. All things echo him now.
