In his two-part Flowless series of short CG films, Florida-based director/animator Alex Maltsev takes a meditative look at “the collision of surface and light as it changes angle and speed.”

Alex Maltsev: “When light passes from one medium to another with different properties, its direction and speed of propagation changes and the phenomenon of refraction occurs.

“Variations in color, shape, and vibrance are manifestations that allow us to feel that changes occur when light passes from one layer to another. This relationship is one of the oldest elements of the human mind, which made it possible to highlight the relative uniformity of natural conditions in different places.”
