Prey

A small fish dreams of the beautiful world outside the fish tank. When she finally gets bigger and leaps out of the fish tank, the once beautiful world isn't what she expected.

굶주린 작은 물고기가 유리벽 너머로 뛰어오른다.

Director Statement

While we relentlessly strive to be a part of the fantastical world portrayed on mass media, we instead become prey to the predators behind the fantasy.

각종 미디어의 사각창에서 묘사되는 환상적인 세상의 일원이 되고자
주입된 듯 똑같은 꿈을 꾸며 서로 경쟁하는 동안, 환상 뒤에 숨어있는 포식자의 먹이는 늘어간다.
