Thijs writes poetry. He asked me if I wanted to make animations for his poems.

Message in a bottle
While reading Thijs' poems I formed images and associations in my head. This poem immediately reminded me of a message in a bottle.
A love letter in a bottle that floats in water for years and eventually finds its way back to the right person at the right time.

" Ik stop liefdesbrieven
in het water
om problemen op te lossen
voor later "

" I put love letters
in the water
to solve problems
for later "
