NOVA BY JUSTIN NOZUKA

Music Video —  Director, 2021


When exploring this concept of ‘Sensory Experience’ I wanted to encapsulate what many people are feeling coming out of the pandemic. We have been constantly stuck in our homes staring and locked into our screens. With this imagery I wanted to explore this visual motif of the digital lives we have become accustomed too. Pulling inspiration from temperature checks and digital interactions. Throughout the music video we see Justin in performance exploring this sense of summer. Capturing what he feels like to experience love and his senses coming to life under the summer's breeze. There’s this sense of waviness represented by the flow of life that exists when spring breaths into summer. Each moment poetic in feeling
