Lovusion uses visual imagery and symbolism to present an account of love and coping with the loss of it. The protagonist, distraught and anxious following a deeply traumatic incident, is unable to grapple with the aftermath. He has, instead, taken refuge in projecting his deep-felt emotions on a blooming, red rose. 
He believes the rose to be an embodiment, a living and conscious form, of his recently deceased partner and thus, vows to preserve and protect it. Even though this experience is extremely remorseful and painful, he chooses to stay with it, for the love he once shared and experienced, underlines the narrative.

Musugu or The Mask takes a literal approach to the idea of people hiding their true intentions behind the masks they wear by concealing the faces of all its actors except for the protagonist. It wants to be a glimpse into the insincerity of the world where a man faces disappointment in love, career and friendship. With nowhere to turn, he is only left with this realisation that everyone around him always hid their true face from him by hiding behind their masks. The video is well-intentioned but needs more fine-tuning in the department of sound and visuals.
