3D
This personal project explores my fascination with futuristic technology and FUI design, centering around a mysterious core and its relationship to surrounding elements. The narrative unfolds through visual storytelling - examining how this central component influences and connects with its environment.
I'm particularly drawn to the deliberate chaos and organized complexity that defines this aesthetic, creating intricate details that reward close examination while maintaining overall visual coherence.

- 02 THE FUN
High Fidelity Goodness
Once the scene is properly established, the real fun begins - switching between 125mm, 50mm, and 300mm lenses to capture diverse perspectives and compositions. It becomes an exhilarating hunt for compelling shapes, forms, and contrast that resonate on an intuitive level.
This exploratory photography phase represents pure creative joy, discovering unexpected visual narratives through varied focal lengths and spontaneous framing choices.

- 03 LAYERS
Layers of the Ogre
Like an ogre, every design project reveals its depth through multiple layers. My process typically begins in Adobe Illustrator - maintaining vector format as long as possible while building foundational elements. These seemingly simple layers accumulate and stack, creating intricate complexity that becomes the raw material for 3D scenes where the real magic happens. This methodical layering approach transforms basic geometric forms into rich, nuanced compositions ready for dimensional enhancement.
