Nekek: Inner Prison

“Yes, I must control myself”, said the little girl to the voice.

We all have a bottle inside us that sometimes we imprison ourselves in it, to hide our feelings, because it makes our acceptance easier for others. This bottle is a part of us and every feeling has a different color, so we must love and hug it tightly. This is my prison. The character creation is inspired by the child inside me and she is the same as my childhood. It's not about being a child, but the story of an adult that is told as a child and I sing it for you.
