The observer gazes at the water, symbolizing life, & attempts to move upstream against the flow. When he reaches the source, he finds the struggle too much to bear. Eventually he decides to relax by the water, watching it flow by, embracing the calm. The water sound was recorded in Gheshm, Iran, while the visuals are from Abraham Lake & Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.
