Artist's Statement
It is not by believing the light that one becomes the light. It is by having the light in one's heart that turns you into the light.
Juror's Comment
The story is absurd with spectacular ideas in its own way. Together with cartoon and animation, it points out the thin line between a Superman and a monster. The extravagant style matches with the theme. This is a coming-of-age tale of a lonely little boy, from being bullied to being accepted, with a touch of quirkiness in its magical innocence. (Chan Chi Wa Ernest)
