Heart aches, tears flow but thats love...taking the risks, taking the pain but having faith and trust is all that matters... for losing oneself makes us win our true love.
I watched this animation many, many times. I see this as an interpretation of many internet friendships. You know you get a feeling for the other person, you think you know him/her perfectly, and you are ready to dive in for a relationship. At the end you get disintegrated.
Dear Kirsten,
This was a great work! You are very young, but managed to capture the essence of a theme! Congratulations!
I am moving in 8 days now from my hometown. I saw this video and it made me think of my best friend and tears filled up in my eyes. I can't explain the feeling but, this video just touched my heart <3 really amazing. good job!
So I showed my teacher this video since he wanted us to do something like this and he replied, "Why didn't the sand man just take a boat across the water?"
How you interpret this is how you view life..glass half full or half empty. I see it as 2 people in love far away from each other, total strangers who in time share themselves with one another...then finally meet..and go off together holding hands. True love knows no boundaries, and risks are just that...risks. Some pay off, others don't. But never hold back in matters of the heart. Thank you.
I watched your video in an animation work shop today and i loved it thank you for the inspiration :)Im only 13 but this helped me strive for my goals even more!

I loved this very much. I personally view this as a long distance relationship. How we learn to love that person to the point that we would travel the ocean to be with them.

@qiqihar9 um, how is this in anyway like romeo and juliet xcept that they both "die"? which im not even sure if they did because its more they they were togetherforever when she became part of the oceanwater , and he became part of the seafloor.
