About The Entry

"The Long Night", Video, Digital Art(3D)
In the video, a traveler lands on an alien planet under the glow of a colossal sun shaped like an iridescent moth wing. The sun’s shifting light casts surreal hues—lavender, turquoise, and gold—across the bioluminescent landscape, creating a mesmerizing, otherworldly scene.
As the traveler explores, her gaze is drawn to the sun, evoking daydreams of her native planet’s mythology. She envisions a revered sword maiden and vibrant flowers from her homeland’s legends. These visions blend with the alien beauty around her, conjuring images of sacred ceremonies and lush, flower-filled meadows.
The video captures her emotional journey, intertwining the stunning visuals of the new world with reflections on her cultural heritage. As the sun sets, casting long, shifting shadows, the traveler stands in contemplative silence, bridging her ancient beliefs with the awe-inspiring reality of the alien landscape.
