Synopsis: Four elements - the fulldome animation about immeasurable power of elements: water, air, earth, fire.

It's also a reflection of our emotions, personification of the primary images encoded in our subconscious. Through images, we can escape from surrounding reality and embark on an immersive journey across the elementary phenomena to the inside of our soul.
