tears

A short by South Korean animator Hyunji Lim, who sez of it:

As society evolved, the mandatory amount of stress people had to receive increased immensely. Modern people are vulnerable to mental problems. Regardless of age or gender, anyone can suffer from a mental illness and not be aware of it. However, people are unsure if they have a mental illness and also the symptoms sent by their mind. That is why people nowadays are constantly suffering from their mental illnesses without even realizing it.
The characters represent each metal illness and show us their symptoms. Someone may find his figure through the characters. I hope that my characters paved the way to look after your tears.

Director Alex Nicholson’s first film is a dark short featuring South London tattooist Duncan X reminiscing about his life and work.

As his tattoos materialise (VFX by MPC motion design studio):

…the subject matter becomes lighter and the viewer warms to him- his tattoos become part of his story, rather than the usual vehicle for judgment.
