Description
This minimalist animation presents a symbolic journey where individuals are drawn into a confined space, representing the pressures of societal expectations. The act of erasing the boundary signifies the potential for liberation and the ongoing struggle between conformity and self-expression. Through its subtle and evocative storytelling, the film invites viewers to reflect on the ways we navigate and challenge the invisible lines that shape our lives.
