The Cycle

OVERVIEW

A girl awakens in a surreal white cosmos and steps through a mysterious door into a sequence of symbolic rooms. In each space - a forest, a pool, a tunnel, a temple, she is chased by disembodied hands that grow larger and more relentless. Escaping through ever-narrower passages, she fights fear and exhaustion until she reaches an altar where a mirror reveals a cosmic reflection of herself. When she merges with her reflection, the universe resets, suggesting that the struggle was never an escape, but a transformation within an endless cycle.
