Rowland Agulonu
Statement
My name is Rowland Agulonu and I am a 2D Animator. I have a mission to create beautiful visuals with my animation challenging myself into creating animations that could appeal to the public.
Echoes of Silence is a hand drawn animated short film that delves into the psychological impacts of bullying. Using surreal visuals and emotional storytelling, this film follows Isaac, a young boy who is lost in a shifting endless void that mirrors his inner turmoil. As the shadows torment Isaac with hateful words, a glowing aura floods the void with golden light.
Echoes of Silence uses dynamic colour shifts and metaphorical imagery to transform Isaac’s emotions into haunting visuals. It is not only a portrayal of bullying but a reflection of silent battles many people endure. This animation attempts to capture both the despair and the resilience needed to find light even in the darkness places
