In the latest instalment of our Sonder film series, John Barrett stands still in a moving world—speaking not to an audience, but to the universe itself.
Shot in the wide-open stillness of the Australian landscape, this visual short is both a poetic reflection and a meditation on memory, connection, and time. Barrett’s words carry the weight of lived experience, echoing across generations, deserts, and denim.
At Fallenbrokenstreet, we believe that style can hold stories—that a hat or a pair of jeans can carry meaning. In this clip, John wears pieces that feel like home: well-worn, intentional, and rich in soul.
Watch the full clip on our Instagram and TikTok, or head to our YouTube channel for the extended version.
