HALLOW is an evocative animated short that explores the profound and far-reaching effects of war on nature, the youth, and humanity. Through a series of carefully crafted illustrations and movement, the animation conveys its message without words, relying solely on visual storytelling and subtle melancholy music to stir the viewer's emotions. The narrative unfolds through striking scenes that depict the destruction of natural landscapes, the isolation of individuals, and the toll that conflict takes on the youth, portraying the devastating emotional and psychological impact of war.

The animation's color palette plays a critical role in expressing the themes of the story. The contrasting use of orange and blue highlights the duality of the human experience—orange symbolizes the fiery destruction and chaos of war, while blue evokes the coldness of solitude and grief. This juxtaposition of warmth and chill illustrates the deep sense of loss and loneliness felt by those affected, creating an immersive experience that resonates with the audience long after the screen fades to black. Through its simple yet powerful approach, "Soar" encourages reflection on the devastating consequences of war and the isolation it brings.
