The thaw (2021)

The thaw (2021) poster

Animated short film painted with oil on transparent acetate. This project is about the poetic instant. Just as a Haiku, it cannot be defined as such only by its metric; an instant cannot be defined according to its duration. The duration of an instant is similar to the vibration of a note, it passes through our body and leaves a resonance; we don't know when it starts or when it ends. The moment dissolves and makes way, but leaves a trail in its path. The instant is poetic because it is situated between what we don't have and what is escaping from us.
