Joshua Baraka
Do broken hearts still burn photos? Do they still bring out the scissors and cut out the other party? The heartbreaks of those days could as well be the heartbreaks of today. Baraka takes us on a journey of a broken heart, those first days. When everything hurts.
When one rolls on the floor in the room, all curtains closed, and some light glimmers through, hits their teary eyes. Or I am over reading into this video? But the chess game, descriptive of many relationships these days. Everyone is moving pieces. And when she checks him, and the king resigns to his fate, that is the crowning moment or the de-crowning one.
The colour scheming does the magic and keeping it simple to the two characters holds the story tight in one place. It all ends with the photos burnt to ash and Baraka stamping his foot on them. Perhaps an acceptance that it is all gone people! But this video could also be prophetic.
