Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
The theme of this jam left a strong impression on our team. Because the two hands are only barely touching, we interpreted the image as a difficult yet meaningful moment of connection. From this, we envisioned a faithful individual, someone willing to spare no effort, even themselves, in devotion to others.

The image also evoked a sense of distance between the owners of the hands. Why can they not fully touch? Is it because of species, a curse, or an insurmountable social divide? We were drawn to this ambiguity and ultimately defined one hand as belonging to our faithful character, and the other to a noble, distant existence that the faithful character longs to reach. To express this relationship, we chose a mythical and mysterious visual style, allowing the tension, devotion, and unreachable connection to be felt through the imagery.
