Director/Editor
Through the delicate medium of sand animation, a haunting yet transformative story unfolds. On a windowpane, eerie claws begin to emerge, their shape grotesque and twisting as they grow larger, spiraling with intensity. These claws symbolize the fear and struggles that hold us captive. As they break through the window—shattering limitations—they extend into the vast unknown, embracing the outside world. This visual metaphor explores the courage it takes to overcome fear, capturing the moment we transcend our inner struggles and spread our wings like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
