Would you speak up for yourself
if someone is listening
A good vision is everyone's want,
but it is rare for a real individual, society, or country to be unable to make a voice.
We all yearn for our voices to be recognized and understood, and even when we are free to speak,
we are not necessarily able to speak what we really want,
what invisible forces prevent us from saying what is in our hearts?
True melancholy is deeply rooted in inner self-censorship and criticism,
which leads to freedom and openness becoming superficial,
and most of us still bury our true thoughts in fear.
Hilly is a 10-year-old silent Taiwanese girl,
nobody was concerned about her depression
and the pressure she suffered from everyday life.
Hilly hates that she always oppress herself,
and also hates the world controlled by adults.
What does Hilly really want to speak out to the adults?

黃勻弦 Huang Yun-Hsien
Illustrator/ Creative figure designer/ Enthusiast of puppet animation and entity handicraft
Hsien started selling her dough at temple when she was a child. After graduating, she ran her original brand in Creative Product Market with her unique modeling ability and dough-crafting skills. She realized that characters should not only have the delicate model but also the story and mental impression.
Hsien believes that the stop-motion animation and dough-crafting both emphasize on the unique hand-made spirit. She hopes to show the different expressions of the declining traditional culture.
