In «Corrections» two men are seen in construction work wear, seemingly inspecting or trying to correct a lifeless black tree. Above them, a vibrant and burning sky, with an orange star fizzling and crashing down towards a row of tree tops, splashing out visible rays of light and color down towards the earth. The two men are not aware, nor affected by what is surrounding them. In this way of having strong visual cues not acting as they are expected, f.ex the lack of hard shadows despite the direct sunlight or the sun rays only visible on the «dark side» of the trees etc., the scenes are hinting towards a scattered dreamlike reality.
