Time of Winter|冬日時光 (2018)

Animated Short Film 動畫短片 | Duration: 1 min


“Time of Winter" is a one-minute animation that captures the ephemeral nature of time and its ceaseless passage. Through the evocative portrayal of a winter setting, the animation subtly reminds us of the transient beauty and relentless progression of our lives.

As the animation unfolds, viewers are transported to a balcony of winter tranquility. A young boy emerges, drawing back the curtains, he carefully hangs a calendar, a symbol of the human desire to mark the passing of time.

Each day, the pages of the calendar flip, accompanied by a delicate soundscape that echoes the cadence of life's ticking clock. With each flip, we witness the subtle metamorphosis of the season. Vibrant leaves, once adorned with hues of crimson and gold, gently detach from branches and descend, mirroring the descent of time itself. The pristine snowflakes that follow, like tiny temporal fragments, blanket the scene, symbolizing the ever-present cycle of renewal and transformation.

Through its imagery and nuanced symbolism, "Time of Winter" invites contemplation on the nature of time and the impermanence of existence. This work celebrates the beauty found in the transitory, urging us to embrace the fleeting moments that shape our lives.


《冬日時光》是一部一分鐘的動畫短片,巧妙地捕捉了時間的短暫性和不可逆轉的流逝。通過描繪冬季景象,這部動畫微妙地提醒我們生活的流逝和轉瞬即逝的美麗。

隨著動畫的展開,觀眾被帶到一個冬日寧靜的陽台。一個年輕男孩出現,拉開窗簾,掛上一張日曆,日曆成為人類標記時間流逝的象徵。

每一天,日曆的紙頁翻轉,伴隨著如同生命滴答聲的細膩音景。隨著每一頁的翻動,我們目睹到季節的微妙變化。曾經裝點著深紅與金黃色的生機盎然的葉子,輕輕地從樹枝上脫落,彷彿時間的下降。隨之而來的潔白雪花,如同微小的時間碎片,鋪滿整個場景,象徵著不斷存在的更新和轉變的循環。

通過其意象和微妙的象徵主義,《冬日時光》邀請我們對時間的本質和存在的無常進行思考。這部動畫慶祝短暫時刻中的美麗,敦促我們擁抱塑造生活的瞬間。
