A Hypnotically Beautiful Animation of a Forgotten Penny Arcade Wooden Doll Endlessly Wandering

Animator Uri Lotan has created an absolutely hypnotic music video for the Jane Bordeaux song “Ma’agalim” (“Circles”). Throughout the video, a wooden penny arcade doll endlessly wanders into different scenes and exiting quickly, visually representing the lyrics of the song.

Nights turn into days
Days turn into years
And among them I was going faster in circles
Winds are blowing on me
Blow on the back of my neck
Everything seems too far too big
I’m not moving forward
It’s the time that drifts away
This is another passing train
It’s a further tightening rope
