In a world where dreams come to life through pixels and shadows, I found myself adrift at the ESMA 2025 jury in Montpellier. It was a gathering of brilliance, where 270 students poured their hearts into 32 mesmerizing films, yet I felt an overwhelming sense of solitude amidst the creativity. While I admired the talent all around me, I couldn't shake the feeling of being an outsider, like a forgotten frame in an animation reel. Everyone seemed to connect, celebrating their hard work, while I lingered in the silence of my own thoughts. Maybe one day I’ll create something that will make someone feel less alone. Until then, I carry this bittersweet ache in my heart, hoping to turn it into art. 🌧️ https://3dvf.com/jury-esma-2025-nous-y-etions/ #LonelyArtist #ESMA2025 #AnimationDreams #Heartbreak #Creativity
