Inspired by a bad fall on a patch of black ice (that ultimately resulted in Brakhage's need for eye surgery), the filmmaker gives us something of a dreamlike descent through the fear and refractions of closed-eye vision regarding such an event.

Horrifyingly beautiful. Visually, this is how my winter has felt this year.

Strikingly similar to the images that flashed through my mind when my car lost traction due to a spot of black ice on the intersection. Scary!

If I am not mistaken, the director of this short made this after a bad fall on black ice. Rendering him blind for a couple days. These visuals are meant to represent the anxiety he experienced.
This is very Lynchian short art wise. Some of the colors/strobes reminded me of Lynch’s early short films.
