Weronika Dec

A first-year Media Arts student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. In her creative work, she is passionate about minimalism and the stain/mark. She often creates black-and-white works or ones with faded colors. She is interested in the aesthetics of bygone years (especially the 20th century) and presenting them in a modern way. She loves modest imagery, strong contrasts, and believes that in animation even a tiny mark, when guided properly, can evoke enormous emotions.

Slow Down

‘Slow Down’ is a short story about the chase. The rush we live in. Time passes and we run after insignificant things. Here appears the metaphor of a butterfly or a feather. We don’t pay attention to the things that surround us – such as a plant that, throughout the course of the animation, tries several times to grow. But what if we slowed down? Stopped for a moment and noticed its beauty?
