A concept art project that explores "ma", the in-between space between human and yĹŤkai, childhood and adulthood. After moving to Tokyo, a lonely boy "Haru" follows strange creatures through hidden torii gates into a shrine where he meets his reflection revealed as a Bakeneko "Gin", a shapeshifting cat spirit. Through a moonlit festival procession across the sleeping city, the two discover what it means to be truly seen without needing to transform.

This project was developed during the Versatile VisDev Styles Workshop with Angela Sung and Nikita Chan, where I explored a range of visual development styles.
