The concept of spirituality is an interesting topic as there are a range of forms and practices which enable humans to tap into their individual sense. 
 
As one’s journey differs from the next person, I aim to make this work very individualistic by telling the story of Paloma’s values and her life story – all under the guise of spirituality. 
 
The video is shot at the botanical gardens in Makhanda. This location was chosen because the green nature environment aligns with the colour schemes used to best describe Paloma’s ideas on self-image and her aura. Paloma’s story is very heartfelt and intriguing. The narrative helps uncover some truths about the art of being. Furthermore, it provides viewers with some food for thought when assessing topics on the spectrum of religion and spirituality. 
The character in this peer interview, Paloma Giustizieri, speaks to notions of representation and perceived ideas of human individuals who are open to spiritual discovery. The issues behind misrepresentation are what underscore her life philosophies; additionally, the discourse invites conversation(s) for viewers and in some possible cases- could invite a change in mentality or thought.  
Overall, this video is an intriguing piece as it spurs change, thought and redirection amongst viewers.
