Synopsis:

This series explores a world where a unique phenomenon allows organic matter to spontaneously transform, mimicking forms drawn from the subconscious. The central narrative follows individuals deeply connected to this shifting landscape, grappling with the implications of such fluid reality. Visuals emphasize dynamic, expressive animation, mirroring the unpredictable nature of the transformations through painterly techniques and subtle sound design.

The story delves into themes of perception, identity, and the power of imagination – how readily form can be molded by internal visions. It's a contemplative experience, less focused on traditional plot structures and more invested in evoking an atmosphere of wonder and unease. Viewers are invited to consider the boundaries between reality and the boundless potential of the mind as these transformations reshape both the environment and the characters within it.
