A visual album for composer Kaija Saariaho’s "Graal Theatre," exclusively featured on Apple Music in 2018.

This piece tells the journey of a robot who seeks true knowledge about her identity and purpose in both the physical and the quantum realm through the unknowns of Parallel Universes. Although hampered and constrained by her body and mind, she confronts and tests the boundaries of nature and mind, only to finally succumb to the limits of her own physical body. As she lets go of her physical body, she discovers that the Physical World is no longer the whole truth, as it is merely a stage given to us to dance and make sense to perceive our universe.
