Stepping Out

“Stepping Out” is a comment on leaving the house after the pandemic and entering the “new normal.” A rainy landscape is replaced with a rainbow as doors open and close, tempting one to venture outside after many months. The viewer never actually passes through the doors, emphasizing the difficulty of transitioning from lockdown, but we do see a horse running free outside. The road, mountains, and sky flow in an otherworldly fashion, representing the surrealistic feeling of the last year.
