“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 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.
