A girl is trying to find the missing Mona Lisa in her dream.
Artists Statement
I have always loved creating story-driven animation, but this time I wanted to take a risk and try something more stream-of-conscious. This way of working and type of story was new to me. To prepare, I collected my own dreams, and reformed them into what became “Finding Mona Lisa”. It alludes to the idea that sin cannot truly be erased from one’s own mind. Guilt will always be haunting you.
