I've got to know and love Brodsky poetry because of my aunt. This poem always made me cry. Crying, I had absolutely no time to realize this project, thought the idea of creating a 360 video haunted me for a long time. The summer of 2020 was especially hard, many nearest people passed away, so did my aunt. I felt that's time for this project dedicated to the theme of leaving.
My aunt Lada was like this small tugboat, dressed in orange. She was a teacher leading her student into the sea of life. They had to take their own paths and part to different jobs and countries, but they always could pass the school by to say hi. She was there till this summer.
Let's say, she's now heading to another wonderful place. While we'll remember what she gave us. I became an animation artist and created this project in her memory.
