From a single drop, the cosmos awakens.

​

Secrets of the Universe transforms nine seconds of ordinary fountain footage into an epic, avant-garde voyage through colour, texture, and sound — a cosmic hallucination born from pure imagination.

One night, as a storm raged outside, a forgotten video clip of water spraying from a park fountain became the seed of an experimental odyssey. Through obsessive editing, cropping, panning, layering filters, sculpting light and movement, the image fractured into something alien: a techno-organic vision pulsing with evolutionary intent.

​

Sound and image merged in real time. A decades-old acoustic riff mutated into an electronic score inspired by 1980s sci-fi soundtracks and 1990s dance-floor ecstasy. The result feels like a rave in the belly of a star — chaos, birth, and revelation flashing in sync.

​

The poster, a psychedelic nod to vintage pop art, completes the ritual. Fonts are original, colours feverish, design cultish. The title promises cosmic answers, yet the film demonstrates that the true secrets of the universe aren’t found in outer space — they exist in the untamed regions of our own creativity, within our very own inner space.

​

The closing reveal — the original fountain clip — returns to the source, to state that every fountain of ideas begins with a single drop.
