Nature helps me let go of the expectations and the pressures of daily life. Through my story, I want to show the joy of freedom, reconnecting with nature, and rediscovering the self that lies beneath expectations.
A small faun appears in the busy city street. Children notice it with curiosity, while adults focus only on its messy look and try to “fix” it. But the faun is searching for something. When it finds it, it sheds its tidy appearance, returns to its wild self, and with its music leads everyone out of the city and back to nature.
I began this story during my illustration studies at Corvin Art School. After setting it aside for two years, I returned with a fresh perspective, redesigned and finished it in time for the competition. As my first own story, I felt a strong desire to share it with others.
