Inktober 2021 - Day 1 - Crystal

I’m in the middle of a long process of building an immersive (and interactive) world filled with various environments, diverse characters, and more importantly: engaging stories. I’m inspired by everything that I remember from my past and what I wish for our future. Influences vary between my Caribbean culture, the current climate crisis, my passion for themes such as futurism, biomimicry, and solar-punk… and of course my experience as a Designer who has been working for more than a decade on human-computer interactions, AR/VR, and haptics. I hope that my love for sci-fi, gaming and storytelling will transpire through this project as well.

I decided a year ago during the pandemic to delete all my social media accounts mainly as part of a research project focused on human behaviours. Now, I’m excited to come back and start sharing some of that work with the public. I intend to do so with a new mindset and framework aligned with my own boundaries and values around vulnerability and empathy. I hope that this inspires some of you. I have zero expectations, simply love for my art.

This first post showcases visuals created earlier today, following the #Inktober2021 1st prompt: #Crystal.
