Goblin: The System's Challenge

This animated poster is inspired by the dystopian novel "The Lower" by Dem Mikhaylov. In a world where individuals are born into debt and even their bodies belong to a soulless system, every step becomes a struggle for survival. This is a world of steel walls and ceilings, where life is worth no more than 1 SOL. The goblin in this artwork symbolizes the harshness of such a system and the challenge it sets before everyone.

The character’s stare and actions reflect the core question of the story: "How to survive while staying human?" This image is not just a static piece, but a call to question the boundaries of humanity within a cruel system.

The animation adds dynamic depth, emphasizing the intensity of the oppressive atmosphere within this dystopian universe. The movements of the goblin, combined with the haunting environment, help to create an engaging visual experience.
