XENO: UNDERTOW

XENO: UNDERTOW is an experimental short film that fuses AI-generated imagery with a stream-of-consciousness narrative, exploring the intangible boundaries of identity, culture, and existence through the fluidity and fragmentation of surreal visuals. The film portrays a metaphorical journey of a whale forced to migrate from the vast ocean to a desert of shifting sands—its form distorting, dissolving, and reassembling in transit, much like the transformative experience of cross-cultural individuals navigating foreign societies. The whale’s struggle is not merely about adaptation or dissolution; it embodies an unspoken yet deeply present inner force—just as every grain of sand, despite its arid environment, remembers the touch of water.
