TO MOTHER MUSIC VIDEO (2020)

          "The music video represents a philosophical exploration of the eternal bond between mother and son, expressed through the creative lens of the Honored Artist of Turkmenistan Rovshen Nepesov. In the course of our collaboration, Nepesov invited me to select one of his compositions to create a visual interpretation of the music that resonated most deeply with me. This process of selection became a meditative journey, culminating in a piece dedicated to his mother.

          This composition, which profoundly moved me, conveyed deep emotions through its music and evoked memories of Nepesov’s touching tradition: at the end of each concert, he would present flowers to his mother, a faithful listener who never missed a performance. Sadly, she is no longer with us, but her influence and love continue to live on in the heart of the composer, reflected in his music. I’m grateful we were able to capture his real mother in the film—you can see her at the end of the music video.

          This work is a visual ode to a mother’s love, which continues to nourish and protect her son. "
