Other worlds

My intention is to represent other worlds, as I’ve always been interested in stories that transport me to other immersive worlds. These stories have shaped who I am today, my hobbies, my interests, my identity, and often my art.

I chose these artworks because they best represented my identity. They represent the family I’ve lost and how it’s affected me. They represent my hobbies and how they connect back to art. They represent how I started getting interested in these immersive stories about other worlds and they represent the franchises that have shaped my interests in certain media.

I hope the audience feels a sense of melancholy, that they think about the sadness but also feel excitement and awe as they are being transported to other worlds. I also intend for the audience to look at what I’ve made, and think, “Wow, I want to be in that world.”

I chose oil paint because it represents my grandmother and how she used to oil paint when she was alive. I used a 3D model to transport my audience to another world because I felt a physical object conveyed the effect better than a painting would. The photograph also allowed the audience to better understand how I became interested in film. Finally, I wanted to draw myself as a character in a game because that particular game influenced me a lot growing up and has made a difference in my life.
