The Crohnicle is an experimental animation about the metaphysical and existential inquiries brought on by sickness. It is inspired by personal experience, narrated by a voiceover, quoting and interpreting Virginia Woolf's essay On Being Ill. The slow-paced atmospheric soundtrack offers a contemplative thinking space while exploring the topics of self-introspection and different modes of being through the lens of illness.
