Suffering. Pain. Self-deception.

The demons of the human being do not yield; they lurk beneath the skin, hidden in every daily decision. For that is their true nature.

This work explores the intimate and heartbreaking descent of Lotus, a young woman trapped in the shadows of her past, a prisoner of her own mind. In her search for identity, she confronts self-deception, the privileges she denies, and a borrowed existence that has never truly belonged to her. Thus, this story becomes an existential portrait of the emotional fall of a woman who, amid torn papers and murmurs in the garden, tries to decipher whether she was ever real and how she survives with the dead who call out her name.All Rights Reserved

Just questions that echo louder in the silence. Then, in a forgotten room and an old mirror that doesn't quite reflect things right, Alex stumbles into a world. Not entirely real but not entirely false either. A place shaped by fear, memory, and all the roads not taken. In its strange landscapes, and fragments of self long buried, Alex must journey through the realm that mirrors the very crisis she is running from. Because to find the way forward, sometimes one have to go to the world in-between.

And when I discover a way to slip between the world of the living and the silence of the dead, the real question isn't just whether I can save her... but whether I can make it back at all.
