PERSPECTIVE
The Long View From Dubai
FILMMAKER PHILLIP BLOOM posted on Vimeo this timelapsed film that he recently shot in Dubai over five days and nights. Much of it was shot from inside the Atlantis Hotel on the Palm Jumeirah.
The photography is striking and evocative and unsettling. And it reveals in flashes what so many of us shut our eyes to every day: we're all just specks of dust. Specks with souls, mind you, but specks nonetheless.
There are things bigger than us humans. Time, for one.
Bloom dedicates his beautiful film to the daughter of a friend who died recently "at a tragically young age." I can't help thinking: Don't we all?
