O

Onion starts with an O. The appearance of Onion, if simplified, is also a round shape like an O —— O represents a purposeful simplification. According to the alphabet, the meaning of O is a creation without identity. Similarly, reducing the unique contours of onions to "O" s, is like erasing the personalities of people and reducing them to identical numbers.

In my animation, onions are in a world full of giant, pink machines that look as beautiful, harmless and peaceful, but are actually deadly sweet traps. The onions are pressed, captured and chased by various enormous engines in a gentle and silent pounce.

Growing up in China, there is so much I want to say, and so much I can't say.
