Music: colourful swirling graphics create a lost girl's fantasy world in animator Sabine Volkert's music video for Koloto's track Fay.
The collaboration came about after Volkert ? a graduate from Germany's Augsburg University of Applied Sciences ? stumbled across UK electronic artist Koloto's music on streaming service SoundCloud and "instantly fell in love with it".

Koloto ? AKA Maria Sullivan ? then invited Volkert to create the visuals to accompany Fay after they became acquainted.
The video follows the protagonist from the lyricless song's title, as she embarks on a "journey of self-discovery, acceptance and growth".

"After being thrown off of the support she previously received, Fay seeks refuge in an alternative world," Volkert told Dezeen. "Here she is being confronted with instances of her future self, while her insecurities manifest themselves and try to capture and bind her to the past." The figure with long blonde hair is transported from reality into an every-changing landscape of tunnels, passages, mirrors and puddles.

Along the way she is sometimes depicted as a girl, and at other points is abstracted to a light-yellow streak speeding through the coloured graphics.
