Imagine transforming into a fantastical creature, one that exists beyond the human condition and is unbound by man-made society. Ether addresses a form of escapism born from the human imagination that offers a chance to stretch the limits of possibility. In this abundant freedom, this creature's soul is free to roam in any direction it desires, suggesting that fantasy is not just a reaction to the constraints of reality, but an empowering zeal to transform and transcend our reality.

This short film is a personal commentary on the path to self-actualisation within the confines of our regulated society: The fantasies of the protagonist creep into her reality, and alongside the living embodiment of this fantastical force, she navigates a metaphysical transformation into a creature of her imagination.
