a surreal, handcrafted short film inspired by HYLICS. In this world, floating creatures pulse with explosive energy, driven by a unifying harmonic scream. The second entry in ducklorde’s COLOUR SERIES, blends his experimental animation with a dithered surrealist style. It’s accompanied by an original track by Tom Hughes, that emulates Chuck Salamone’s work on HYLICS 2. The result is like watching consciousness dissolve through a microwaved sunbeam.

In this introspective exploration of identity and relationships, a young filmmaker reflects on the concept of being "two-faced," revealing that we all wear multiple masks depending on the situation. He identifies three key personas: the anxious individual, the creative force, and the playful spirit, each shaping his view of the world and his interactions with others.
