‘embryon-x/overprotect' dares to question the very essence of procreation. Is it still in our nature to create life, or merely a desperate grasp at resurrecting shattered dreams? It demands reflection: who does a child truly serve? Children often become vessels for their parents' unrealized ambitions, carrying the weight of hopes long abandoned.
How free is a child in a world rife with expectations? How isolated are they, trapped in a reality that prioritizes legacy over individuality? Do they belong to themselves, or are they mere extensions of their parents’ unfulfilled desires?
Trauma seeps through generations—inevitable scars from a chaotic world and the deeper wounds of their parents’ failures. Children inherit the burdens of those who could not bear the responsibility of life beyond their own, lost in the labyrinth of imposed identity.
“How could you have known better, right?” This haunting question lingers, echoing the sorrow of innocence lost. “Oh, you poor one.” It encapsulates the tragedy of the young, bearing the weight of a legacy they never chose, navigating a world shaped by the shadows of their parents' dreams.
