The Square of Thoughts

The animated visualization complements Artur Ptak’s works from the series “The Square of Thoughts. From Allegory to The Author’s Sign”, faithfully capturing their character, principles, and deep Christian symbolism that permeates every aspect of his creations. It serves not merely as a film but as an integral part of the artistic narrative that expands on the themes explored by Ptak, while also reflecting my own ideas and spiritual reflections.




A key concept that guided me in creating this visualization is the confrontation of divine action. I wanted to present a vision of God who is eternal and acts beyond time, yet simultaneously operates within time. The chronology in this work may seem unconventional, but this is an intentional choice. By doing so, I aimed to highlight the ambiguity of divine action—its multiplicity of meanings—and at the same time, the coherence and consistency of each stage in God’s eternal activity within the passing nature of time. This idea reflects the intricate relationship between eternity and temporality, where the infinite transcends but also enters time.

 


The visualization touches on themes of creation, incarnation, and redemption. However, these motifs are not presented in a chronological sequence. Just as creation is an act of divine intervention, a calling forth into existence, incarnation similarly becomes the moment of divine entrance into the world. The same can be said of redemption, which marks another instance of God’s engagement with humanity. These events, though distinct, are all intertwined, showing God’s continuous and purposeful action throughout time. Each phase of this divine journey, reflected in the visualization, emphasizes the unity of these processes, revealing the timelessness of God’s creative and redemptive work, even as it unfolds in human history.

 


The music of Michał Jacaszek – the composition “Powoli”, plays a key role in strengthening this meditative reflection. Atmospheric soundscapes create a space for contemplation, highlighting the themes and symbolism presented in the visualization. Music and visuals work together to invite viewers not only to witness the unfolding of divine action, but also to engage with it on a deeper, more reflective level.



 
The video accompanied the exhibition of Artur Ptak’s works, becoming an essential part of the artistic experience. It complements and expands the interpretive space of his creations, allowing viewers to enter into a deeper dialogue with Christian symbolism and the role of divine action in both cultural and temporal contexts. This visual journey forms a cohesive narrative, blending art, theory, and sound to explore the profound connection between God’s timeless essence and His action within time, inviting contemplation on the deeper mysteries of faith. The exhibition took place at the Museum of Cultural Dialogue, a branch of the National Museum in Kielce.

How to Make Your Product Speak Before Anyone Even Touches It

In a world overflowing with visuals, your product has only seconds to make an impression. You want people not just to see it — but to feel its story, its quality, and the idea behind it. The challenge? Static images rarely do justice to the experience you’ve built. They can show what your product looks like, but not what it feels like.  That’s where motion design in 3D changes everything.  Imagine this:  A small plastic jar slowly rotates in the light. The cap twists open, and three tablets pop up playfully — as if inviting the viewer to explore. After a brief moment, they gently drop back inside, the lid closes with a smooth click, and the jar completes its turn, revealing a clean label with your logo.  It’s just a few seconds of motion — yet it tells a complete story of innovation, precision, and trust.  This is the power of motion design:  • It turns a simple product shot into an immersive visual story.   • It helps your a...

Behind the Visual Design of the 40th World Youth Day of the Diocese of Kielce

For this year’s 40th World Youth Day of the Diocese of Kielce, held on November 22, 2025 at the Congress Center - Targi Kielce, I had the opportunity to create the background visuals and the intro animation displayed on stage during the event. The starting point for the intro was the official promotional poster designed by Jakub Radek. Using elements from the poster, I developed animated sequences that matched the event’s visual identity and worked well with the stage lighting and overall atmosphere. Seeing the visuals presented live—together with the music, lighting, and the energy of the audience—was a meaningful moment. It’s always satisfying to watch a digital project become part of a real, shared space. I’m grateful for the chance to contribute to the visual side of this celebration.
