BI is a fierce beast in legend which stands for Imprisonment.
This video is an individual psychological scan initially: be surrounded by constraint, disturbed by confusion and wrapped by desire. Then is the fierce conflict caused by the slaved and enslaved relationship between reality and ourselves. The individual heroism impulse of our attempt of change will probably become a comical performance. But the reality itself is exact the monster hidden in our deep heart. The roaring trucks in row are circling a person trapped in sludge.There is no way to get out that a sense of frustration constructed a prison in each of our hearts.
