I recently found this unfinished animation project I forgot I made. The animation was done and I wondered why I never finished it. Then I saw the date. 23 February 2022. The day after russia has invaded my country.

So many artwork and film ideas could no longer exist, because they no longer fit into my reality. No matter how hard I wish to, I can no longer make films about crying flowers, seducing death, kissing girls, moving shapes. None of that makes sense any more. It was fun while it lasted, but it is no longer possible to continue honestly creating these images, as my home is bleeding and burning and my loved ones die horrible deaths.

I haven’t lost the drive to work. I am not sad. I am enraged. I am glad I got to make what pleasant art I could, during the time I wasn’t yet preoccupied by matters such as death, warfare and ecocide.

I see amazing films from various artists about first crushes, hotdogs, random jokes and beautiful images – and I envy them kindly.  

My next work will be hard to watch. But it will be true and it will be told from the heart.
