Defoam was a 2D animation emphasis on the attachment to the memories which director situates the protagonist in the laundry shop with an impulse to detach from any of the past by “washing” the memories away, later leading the protagonist enter a void realm where they came to a realisation on the proposition of knowing thyself.
The animation surrounds the abstract expression of the act of washing as a ritual sanitisation of one’s own mind, and to lead the spectators drifting in a lucid dream, unearth the subconsciousness of human’s mentality.
