Mirror (2025) is an independent animated short, developed as an experiment in toon shading and emotional storytelling through vibrant color. The film was crafted on an extremely low budget using Blender. Story, direction, animation, and production by Lee.

Brief Synopsis : Lost in a shifting nightmare of mirrors, Naraka searches for the truth. As reflections distort, she uncovers a haunting reality—she is merely a brain suspended in water, trapped in an unreal reality.
