From a stone

From a stone

石から

Four years ago, while out for a walk in Ome, a person picks up an intriguing stone of 30 centimeters across. They become captivated by its texture, weight, and the way light plays across its surface. This ordinary object sparks an extraordinary fixation, and they decide to pursue its image until its ultimate end.

The film follows this solitary journey of obsession, exploring the psychological depths of fixation and the passage of time. As the protagonist delves deeper into the stone's essence, the boundary between reality and imagination begins to blur. Each frame transforms the mundane into the surreal, reflecting an inner world where a single object becomes the center of existence. Through meticulous animation, the stone evolves from a simple rock into a symbol of persistence, memory, and the human drive to find meaning in the smallest things. This graduate work from Tokyo University of the Arts captures a quiet yet intense meditation on how a chance encounter can alter one's perception of the world.
