“A Garden of Hope” is a 2D animation short film that has no dialogue. It depicts a girl despite being bound in a wheelchair for life but still continues to have the hope that one day she will be able to walk again. 

This short film was animated in 2009,  screened in Singapore Film Festival 2010 (Singapore Art Museum) and Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film 2010; and shortlisted for screening in Very Short International Film Festival 2011 (Alliance Francaise and Esplanade Park).

A few years later, it was discovered to have caused a significant amount of birth defects in infants when consumed during pregnancy, affecting approximately 10,000 babies, of which 40% did not survive. Subsequent research showed that Thalidomide exists in two forms (isomers) instead of just one, where they differed in their three-dimensional orientations.   This concept is known today as Stereoisomerism, where two forms of the same molecule (enantiomers) appear as mirror images of each other, but are non-superimposable. Enantiomers exist as racemic mixtures, where each form is present in equal amounts in a mixture. An ...
