We Grew Up in Illusions | Animation for Adults
Who says animation is only for kids? As we fall out of childhood and into adulthood, reality and imagination start weaving the world we live in—blurring, tangling, never quite clear. From the identity struggles of Hong Kong’s queer community, to the quiet battles of the working class, to the existential weight carried by city dwellers—these complex, three-dimensional selves are often flattened into frames we can’t say aloud or capture on film. And beyond each frame lies reality, projecting itself back at us—whispering softly, shouting underneath.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
