“I Pray for Love” is a visual hymn composed and performed by Oh. (Olivia Hadjiioannou) and visually crafted by the AI model Sora. It poetically navigates the transformation from chaos to beauty, longing to presence, from the illusion of separation to the quiet knowing that we are already what we pray for. Blending innovative generative visuals with symbolic spiritual imagery, the film is a reflection of the quiet part within us that has never forgotten.

Director Biography – Olivia Hadjiioannou

Olivia Hadjiioannou (Oh.) is a Greek multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer acclaimed for her innovative approach to music and visuals. Her debut EP Sleeping World (2013) earned international acclaim, winning awards and comparisons to artists like Kate Bush and Tori Amos. Her subsequent works include the progressive metal album Synemotion (2015), pioneering VR and WebGL experiences for singles such as “Love of Avalanches” and “Deserted Eyes,” and the award-winning EP Metallia (2018), whose music video “Red Lion” secured accolades at the French Riviera Film Festival in Cannes and numerous global festivals.

In 2025, Olivia returns with the single and short film “I Pray for Love,” marking a shift to distilled, prayer-like lyricism paired with groundbreaking AI-driven visuals. Like a Renaissance painting come alive through digital alchemy, the piece explores spiritual emergence and inner beauty, continuing Olivia’s legacy of blending progressive emotion and metaphysical depth.

Director Statement

“I Pray for Love” began as a gentle prayer to uncover a buried truth: an awareness that love is our true nature. This film would not exist without AI. For years, I held a vision that couldn’t be captured traditionally—it existed somewhere between feeling and symbol, beyond the reach of a camera. Through the generative visuals of Sora, this vision finally emerged.

This film is dedicated to anyone who’s ever called out to the universe, not just seeking an answer, but hoping to find the way back home.
