Petite Meller - The Flute Music Video filmed in Khuvsgul 2016

"To film, me and my team rode into the Mongolian hills of Genghis Khan
by truck and horseback, where I follow the sound of the Flute.
In the flute, its a picture of a blushed Mongolian girl which I connected with,

cause of a traumatic sunburn I had as a child.
In my
teens, I started putting on the blush to mark the memory of the pain, 
I felt as alien, but as an artist, this mark is now an identity.

Wear your trauma proudly. Find your tribes."
                                                                                                                     Petite.
