Awakening is the battle between who we are and who we hide
This 2.5-minute short film delves into the internal struggle of self-exploration, inspired by Carl Jung's theory of the shadow self. Through the metaphor of a battle between a cloaked shadow and a masked figure, the film explores the conflict between light and darkness, persona and true self. With symbolic use of eyes, ink, and blurring, it reflects the tension of awakening to one's own inner world and embracing the darkness that lies within.
