Logline

When a sacred scroll unleashes a forgotten evil, a young guardian must master ancient mantras and face her darkest fears to protect the Veil of Maya—before reality unravels forever.

Artist Statement

I create to tell stories that reflect the duality of illusion and truth, especially those rooted in cultural memory and personal transformation. The Veil of Maya was born from my desire to explore fear, ancestral strength, and the unseen forces that shape us. As an Indian artist working in 2D + Experimental Animation, I’m drawn to the expressive possibilities of hand-drawn motion and symbolic world-building. Animation allows me to bend reality and invite viewers into emotionally layered spaces, where myth meets memory and the personal becomes universal.
