Realised in 2014, this beautiful animated film, subtle and graceful, is the final project year-end of a Japanese student of University of Fine Arts Tama of Tokyo : Kohei Nakaya.
The choice of a silent narrative, driven by a soft and introspective music of Claude Debussy, lets you enjoy all the finesse of this teenager malaise.
Lightweight and touching, A reflection of one's mind is very pleasant. The impressive maturity and control of the graphic writing, lets we expected great things for Kouhei Nakaya and his future audience.

Where it came from
A Reflection of One's Mind is an original net animation (ONA) released in the early 2010s, emerging during a period of experimentation for independent digital animators. The project was conceived as a minimalist, introspective piece that sought to explore the fluidity of consciousness and memory, stripping away traditional narrative structures in favor of atmospheric storytelling. Its creation reflects the growing accessibility of digital animation software, allowing creators to produce highly personal, abstract works without the oversight or constraints of major production houses.
The animation is characterized by its stark visual language, often utilizing monochromatic palettes and fluid, surreal transitions to mirror the protagonist's internal landscape. It was designed to prioritize mood over exposition, inviting the viewer to interpret its shifting imagery as a subjective experience. Upon its initial online debut, it garnered a niche following among enthusiasts of experimental and avant-garde media, who praised its ability to convey complex emotional states through rhythm and visual metaphor rather than dialogue.
