THE SERPENT
We are all born to be special and irreplaceable. 「野」‘Wild’ is a series to represent a metaphor of the society. The ‘Gazelle Run’, ‘Serpent Bite’ and ‘Firefly Shine’ respectively stand for different types of people and what they do in our society.
Gazelle, Serpent, Firefly can be anyone of us in this society, revealing the adventure of seeking one’s true self. Embrace your flaws and know your strengths, you are perfect in the way you are.
Koleman, as the Serpent in the video, symbolizes the insecurity within himself during his expedition of self-acceptance. Molting is a necessary process for serpents. They shed their skin and are reborn anew during which their vision becomes clouded. Koleman is dressing up in a way that requires attention from our society in the lights of social media, yet is rubbing against our own stigma to free himself of its constraints. With this rebirth, Koleman ultimately discovers his own strengths and values, willing to embrace his genuine characteristics. Koleman finds his unique meaning of life.
