Niskala (2025)

"Jangan berhenti menggambar, bukan karena orang lain. Tapi untuk diri nala."

Amid the relentless pressure of looming deadlines, Nala (25), an illustrator, finds herself trapped in an art block that leaves her unable to complete her work. When she discovers a paper crane origami and her late mother's childhood sketchbook, she begins retracing the memories that first sparked her love for drawing. Through fragments of the past filled with hope, joy, and pain, Nala realizes that she has spent so much time chasing expectations that she has forgotten why she started creating in the first place. This journey leads her to embrace every experience both painful and beautiful as an essential part of who she has become. With a renewed sense of purpose, Nala picks up her pencil once again, not in pursuit of perfection, but to create honestly and reconnect with herself.
