quem partiu é
amor de alguém

Opening and closing vignettes for an awareness action by the Vigília Silenciosa movement, about COVID-19 and the people behind the numbers: "those who left were someone's love." A project where the animation needed, above all, to be gentle.

Process

Designing with care.

one

A delicate brief

This wasn't a piece about statistics; it was about people, and the people who loved them. Every design choice started from respect: for the grief, for the families, for the weight of the moment.

two

Restraint as language

Open sky, handwritten script, soft movement and room to breathe. Animation working at a whisper, framing the action's message instead of competing with it.

three

Two bookends

The opening prepares the viewer; the closing lets them rest. Together they hold the action's content like a frame, giving the campaign a beginning and an end made with the same care.

Outcome

It reached far beyond the room.

where

National Museum, Brasília

The action took place at the National Museum in Brasília — a public space at the heart of the capital, chosen so the grief it named couldn't be looked away from.

reach

National press coverage

The vigil was covered by media outlets across the country, carrying the message far past the people who could be there in person.

still

Still available

The full film remains online on YouTube, so the action keeps doing its work — a record of the people behind the numbers.
