Bowmore

"In april 2023 myself and a friend of mine - french director Neels Castillon were invited by Bowmore to spend some time in Islay in Scotland in order to create a video accompanying the song: The Boat inspired by the unique nature of the island and its spirit. I took it as a nice opportunity to revisit my thoughts on the song to find the right visual language for such a fragile tune of mine. We decided to focus not only on the image but also on sounds surrounding us that we ultimately recorded and included into the original track. I was mesmerized by the Scottish landscape and its welcoming atmosphere which made me see "the boat" from a very different perspective." HANIA RANI
