SOBER

Sober is a story project that started in 2020 that features themes around moving on, freeing oneself from exploitation, learning how to become human, queerness, and finding purpose in passion. This project's setting is very influenced by my homeland, Indonesia.

A dream can be inferred to as a Flower that blooms during one's sleep. It is called as 'Bunga Tidur'. In our everyday life, dreams can be an omen, motivation, a foreseeing through things that seem invisible. A resolution. In this world, humanity has lost the passion to create and abandoned all forms of conveying. That's what a pessimist says. Truthfully, art has never stopped being born. It is only left suppressed, and soon enough it will begin to collapse, explode, and litter the world with creation that people hate; true expression.

Some characters repress their passion, some characters embrace their passion, and some characters are searching for their star. Some want to feel human, some embrace their nature. Some seek family, some seek solemn.
