THE 'SELVES'
Ons of the ideal self. It tries to capture the turmoil a person witnesses and sustains within oneself to decide who they want to be. It shows the dips and dilemmas of the self in determining the self. This, in turn, pinpoints the stereotypical realm of the society bred thinking toward the ideal concepts, considering anything perfect is always ideal. This series tries to reflect upon the protagonist's current state of self, which the person is highly dissatisfied with.

The series tries to highlight the desperation within the protagonist to reach the ideal self and how this unsettling state of mind investigates a complete psychological breakdown, in turn causing the protagonist to lose both the current self and the ideal self. To signify the importance of the need to strike a balance, this series focuses primarily on the psychological craving of becoming a so-called ideal individual and the ber dissatisfaction with the existing self. However, it also focuses on the perilous side of the perfect, or the potential, and tries to run on the lines of the following quote: If you look for perfection, you will never be content.
– Leo Tolstoy (Anna Karenina).
