Creatures of Chaos

In Creatures of Chaos, four neighbors discover that their emotional struggles take on physical forms—creatures they attempt to conceal. As these creatures grow larger and more disruptive, an unexpected encounter reveals that they are not alone in their experiences. Inspired by conversations about the dismissal of mental health in South Asian communities, this animated short explores the universal nature of emotional challenges. Through vibrant collage animation, it encourages open dialogue about the hidden struggles we all carry.
