  • Leaf Bug

    Leaf Bug (2020)
    Video by Blond Jenny (Short) A man walks through a field and becomes a huge leaf bug. He sees through bug eyes and is free to fly in the sky with his wings. We came from nature and will go back to nature. We might become flowers, animals, butterflies, or even a bug.

  • UNITY

    UNITY (2020)
    Video Title: Unity ( 2019) Medium: Video Running Time: 2 min 22 Life is short and beautiful. I use nature to talk about life and death. A man, a woman, and other people are all living in this tiny world. We are a part of beautiful Mother Nature. She is amazing and in the afterlife, we will go back to Her. In the beginning, you will see the man and woman are surrounded by a butterfly dancing tree. People ultimately go back to Mother Nature to become one.

  • WINDWALKER

    WINDWALKER (2020)
    Video by The Blond / Blond Jenny Title: Windwalker (2020) Medium: Video Running Time: 1:20 min I shot video in two locations: Horseshoe Bend, AZ and Red Rock Canyon, NV this past December. Amazing landscape, red colored rocks, and plants to explore with 360 degree camera. I feel the air, wind, sand, rocks and cacti. I am like the wind and can travel to a different dimension where life is untouched by time.

  • GREEN BEETLE

    GREEN BEETLE (2020)
    Video by The Blond / Blond Jenny (Short) Title: Green Beetle (2019) Media: Video Running Time: 3 min 20 Man, woman, goldfish, water, trees, and the sky have become a green beetle. We are surrounded by Mother Nature and our movements combine in beautiful harmony. My intent is to preserve the pristine environment as a way to advocate conservation and sustainability.

  • OCEAN SPIDER

    OCEAN SPIDER (2019)
    Video Title: Ocean Spider ( 2019) Medium: Video Running Time: 3 min 12 The Ocean Spider presents a different perspective of Mother Nature. The movement, clean sand, and skyline create a dreamy hypnosis. I love New York City but I also love nature. After so many years of city life, I realized that I needed nature. While traveling to South Carolina’s Folly Beach I found a beautiful location where the pier was the convergence of a manmade structure and the ocean. With this piece, my goal is to bring nature to the city like a souvenir. I shot the video in the morning and afternoon to capture two different types of lighting. Each of these represents a different feeling. Early in the morning is cool and clear which gives me a feeling of calmness. In the afternoon, the brighter light and color gives me a feeling of happiness.

  • AIR WALK

    AIR WALK (2017 - 2018)
    Video by The Blond/ Blond Jenny Title: Air Walk ( 2017) Medium: Video Running Time: 03:12 min I used a 360 camera to capture nature and art; the joys of my life. The nature at the beginning is the birth of life. The transition to the colorful city highlights the innocence of adolescence. Finally, in death, we return back to the silence of nature. The 360 view captures more than just our narrow first person perspective which led to the title Air Walk. This is the view we have as spirits after we leave our bodies. I am the air that can fly in the sky and freely go anywhere I please. I am the air; surrounded by air.
