MirageMirage (2014) is a short hybrid 2D / 3D animation, which explores the essence of memory and its significance in our lives. It shows the serendipitous convergence of our memories in the formation of a man's body. Everything he saw became part of him. Our memories are more often than not unstable and fluid retellings and inaccurate depictions of past events. Life is like mirage. You can never tell the truth of it but that's all we have. On the one hand, we chose to forget something or change the memories to create a different world: a world we feel comfortable with, a world we understand, a world as much as we hope it to be. On the other hand, things will never be forgotten, as their knowledge and influence will never disappear. The appearance of the truth might seem impossible to be restored. But maybe that is not the case any more.
