“Lost and Found” is a magical, story-based project about a person lost at sea who discovers a glowing, unreal land where stars are born. It’s a mix of fantasy and adventure, showing themes of curiosity and wonder. The story follows a lonely traveler in a rowboat, stuck in the middle of a huge ocean. One night, they see a sky full of falling stars, shining like fireworks. Drawn to the light, they row toward it. A strange sign saying “Slow” pops up from the water, but they ignore it, too excited to stop. Soon, they reach a sparkling shore. The land glows with starlight, with a cozy house and a planet floating above. Magicians wave wands, creating stars. It’s like a small world but feels massive, alive with magic. This adventure shows how curiosity can lead to incredible discoveries.
There’s a planet that seems to be watching all these things happen, like a security camera. What will happen next?
