    uniE608 Spotkanie | [short film]
    In 2024, I created a short stop-motion animation as part of my animation course—a project that was the result of six months of dedicated work in collaboration with Michał Szumowski (wolf character design) and Kosma Gawor (soundtrack). With this animation, our aim was to show that light cannot exist without shadow, yet their relationship does not have to be negative. On the contrary, it can be truly beautiful. Sometimes, discovering the true nature of things simply requires courage to face our fears. In this production, I was responsible for editing, animation, background illustrations, and the character of the light.
