Larvae Story is a 4.5-minute stop-motion animation depicting the struggles of life as a larva. The larvae inhabit a dust-filled world where they have built an advanced civilization. Though they lack wings, they have developed technology that allows them to fly. Despite the technology that they have achieved, the larvae are still searching for a way to beat perpetual dust storms that have plagued them for generations.

 

  One day, a massive storm strikes their town. In response, the larvae activate their machinery, using lights and fans to deflect the dust. What begins as a battle against the storm transforms into a ritual of sublimation—a celebration that feels like a lively, defiant dance party.

​

  Larvae Story was screened at various international film festivals across the United States, Germany, Turkey, Switzerland, India, Korea, Nigeria, and Italy from 2021 to 2022.
