Many become very lost in terms of direction and motivation before they find, or realize, that which can bring meaning to their existence.

‘Pa.’ is an animated short created by Kapitolina Tcvetkova-Plotnikova that explores the concept of ‘homo scrutante’ – an idea that humans are always searching for their purpose. Many, like the subject of the film, become very lost in terms of direction and motivation before they find, or realize, that which can bring meaning to their existence.

The nature of all other creatures is defined and restricted within laws which We have laid down; you, by contrast, impeded by no such restrictions, may, by your own free will, to whose custody We have assigned you, trace for yourself the lineaments of your own nature.

– “De hominis dignitate” Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

The steady pace and the soothing pastel style really dig into the toned mood of the film, heightening the emotions of confusion and isolation.
