Repressing

Son Thai Tran - Instagram

The animation depicts the mental world inside a boy. The boy is calm from his appearance, but suffers paranoid imagination and distress due to repression.

The boy's mind is depicted as a garden, where his emotions, impulses, memories and thoughts are symbolised as colourful flowers. They grow in his unconscious mind. However the boy decided to repress negative thoughts and feelings because most people have a total lack of empathy for his stories, thoughts and emotions. Soon all of his inner struggles get bigger and become a disease, that creates more mental pain.
