The idea behind WACD began long before the website itself.
Several years ago, I watched the BBC documentary Secrets of the Solar System. One detail stayed with me long after the film ended: our Solar System was born from a cloud of gas and dust.
Under the force of gravity, tiny particles slowly came together, forming larger and larger structures. Out of chaos appeared planets, asteroids and entire worlds.
That idea fascinated me.
We are literally made of the same cosmic material. In the scale of the universe, it feels incredibly lucky to be alive, to imagine, and to create something of our own.
One morning, the phrase came to me: We Are Cosmic Dust.
Later I realized that its abbreviation — WACD — worked perfectly as well.
For me, cosmic dust is more than a scientific fact. It is a creative process.
Every animation begins as a collection of unrelated things: images, sketches, ideas, fragments of stories and random thoughts. At first, it looks like chaos. Then, little by little, everything starts coming together.
A story appears. Movement appears. A new world appears.
In a way, creating animation is not so different from the formation of a solar system.
Today I create 2D animation, collage animation and motion design, but the idea remains the same: transforming scattered pieces into something meaningful.
Perhaps that is why space continues to appear in my work. Since childhood, I have loved science fiction and dreamed of seeing space with my own eyes. That dream will probably remain a dream. Instead, I learned how to create my own universes.
The character who represents WACD is a collage astronaut in a pink spacesuit with oversized cut-out eyes. She travels through imagined worlds, explores strange places and searches for stories hidden among the stars.
She is probably the closest thing to me that exists inside my animations.
And maybe that is what WACD has always been about:
finding order in chaos,
finding stories in fragments,
and creating worlds from cosmic dust.
You can explore my animations on YouTube, Instagram and Behance.
