Ziemia / Soil

In Polish language, word "Ziemia" means both "soil" and "Earth", which I think is a meaningful coincidence. It’ s interesting to think what it would be like to live in an environment such as soil. Communication there happens in darkness, and consists of subtle vibrations and chemical signals - so much dif ferent than our loud, bright world above. The ground it is quieter , but it has its own specific sounds, that come from the organisms living there, roots growing, water travelling through. Fertile soil is something that takes a very long time to develop and very little time to destroy . For me it's a fragile, beautiful and mysterious environment - and that's how I aimed to depict it in this animation.
