"Self Manifest"

<동영상보러가기>

 

 

Description:

 

Naya, a seemingly ordinary young woman, struggles with hidden anxiety that often amplifies her surroundings. Despite a stable life, worries about inadequacy and making mistakes plague her, making everyday events feel overwhelming. To cope, she relies on a comforting imaginary friend, Janeen, who soothes her anxieties. While this coping mechanism provides temporary relief, Naya finds herself increasingly reliant on this imaginary support, leading to a deeper sense of loneliness and vulnerability.  

겉보기에는 평범한 젊은 여성인 Naya는 종종 자신의 주변을 증폭시키는 숨겨진 불안과 싸웁니다. 안정된 삶에도 불구하고, 불충분함과 실수에 대한 걱정이 그녀를 괴롭히고, 일상적인 사건들을 압도하게 만듭니다. 이에 대처하기 위해, 그녀는 자신의 걱정을 달래주는 위로하는 가상의 친구 Janeen에게 의존합니다. 이 대처 메커니즘이 일시적인 안도감을 제공하는 반면, Naya는 점점 더 이 가상의 지원에 의존하고 있음을 발견하여 더 깊은 외로움과 취약성으로 이어집니다.​
