“Haptic” is a visual poem exploring human touch and connection purely through visuals and sound.

“Haptic” originally was a synonym for tactile in the medical field, and has since taken on the broader definition of the “science of touch.” By the early 20th century, it had developed a psychological sense, describing individuals whose perception supposedly depended primarily on touch rather than sight. I intended to portray thematically this idea of dependency on physical touch. A dependency which transcends age groups. Touch as a gateway to friendship, love, and grief. The purity of the images allows the viewer to maintain their own perspective without being influenced by narration.

Director’s Vision for ‘Haptic’
