A peculiar pigeon navigates the city, shedding his unique identity to fit in with different groups. After losing his prized possession, he learns to value his true self.
"Echo" is an animated short film that explores unhealthy dependence on approval, which can dominate a person’s life. Inspired by the domestication story of pigeons, the film follows a character's journey into self-acceptance. The main topics are how the value of self-identity is only recognized once it is lost and how one’s identity is forever altered by external environments and their obsession with external validation.
