WELLMAN / Artists: Ci Xuan Lim

There is a well in all of us. Sometimes we get stuck in the well. And it's a deep and dark place, where there is no light. The well isolates. The well devours. And the well forces you to face your demons.

PEBBLE / Artists: Clara Janssen

A penguin searches for the perfect pebble. A story of wanting the best for the ones we love, and being accepted as we are by the ones who love back.

MY CLOUD / Artists: Huang Suhuai

My cloud is a little story about a girl and the cloud she thinks she owns. It speaks about love, loss, what it means to have, and the relationship between “I” and “Mine”.
