This is a room scale art piece created for Beeple Studio Grand Opening event competition. In this contest artists could submit any content to be showcased in a huge warehouse featuring 3 walls and 6 columns.
Entire project was executed in around 10 days. Below is a little video I put together showcasing a recreated 3D version of the space.
/// THE ROOM
Journey to Self is an artwork about the path to self knowledge and emotional intelligence.
Since the beginning I wanted to use the environment structure in a way that works with the concept itself.
The piece is divided into 2 sections based on the room arrangement. Each telling a side of the concept.
/// THE COLUMNS
Columns in the center of the room showcase silhouettes in a red background with subtle animation. These represent those that havent started or completely refuse to go down the path of self discovery.
Scale wise the silhouettes were planned to be just above standard human height. The goal is that people in the room have to look a little bit up to lock eyes with the silhouettes.
/// THE WALLS
The wide walls in the room were used to create a storytelling that starts at the entrance and flows to the back/center of the room. Both composition and animated elements in the scene helps guide the viewer to the center of the room.
The artwork showcases a migration process of souls looking for self discovery. All of them are converging into the spiral in the center of the back wall.
Flowing red neon lights guide them on this journey.
/// STILL SHOTS
/// BTS
