I Draw Inside a Sheep (Wong Ka Ki)

This short is no longer available.

“I Draw Inside A Sheep” is a depiction of a personal journey with this stranger that we encounter daily. It is the fear of facing a close relationship and that fear ultimately leads to the inability to express ourselves. The cycle of persisting and escaping from reality eventually leads us to an uncertain state that only the most surreal part of ourselves can sooth and calm us.
