There is only a little boy on the planet.
Day after day, even the boy is lonely however he works very hard to keep his daily routine implemented.

All the efforts he does is just waiting for the day coming ...

"Loving someone" means loving different individuals, or just projecting one's own emotions on another?

At the time of loneliness, people mistakenly believe that love can eliminate the feeling of that. Thus, we try and pursue love or be loved, and our willingness to pay the price, and even greater to do everything. In fact, all actions and aims are to please him or her and eager to give back.

We put too much fantasies in love unconsciously. And this behavior often makes us disillusioned or even hurt in the relationship.

So, "love a person" is loving different individuals? or just self-projection?

Alone + Aurora

Loneliness is the common emotion of the human collective.

Is the shadow real? Or maybe it just his imagination?

That shadow may also be a part of ourselves.


Born to be lonely in life, no matter who we meet in our life journey, in the
end we are also alone, we always have to learn to live with ourselves.

According to the Peter Pan’s shadow, there is a saying that his shadow is
his lost childhood, which is why Peter Pan never grows up. I want to add
this concept into my animation.

The boy's shadow is what he lost, so that’s why he is so obsessed and
willing to do everything for it, but those things are only illusion eventually.
