Experiments in the void
ヴォイドの中での実験
This collection serves as a personal digital sketchbook, exploring the expansive possibilities within 3D digital space. By stepping away from the constraints of traditional computer animation and modeling while taking advantage of the various tools at hand, it's possible to experiment freely with color, composition, lighting, camera effects, and rendering techniques, allowing for creative discovery in each new image.

Solar
ソーラー
When looking at how the sun has been portrayed in art, I came across the technique of solarigraphy, a form of long-exposure photography that captures the sun’s path across the sky. It produces a rather cool lo-fi and highly surreal effect in the resulting images. I set out to recreate the aesthetic in a more abstract form, trying to evoke the effect of a moving light source burning itself onto a piece of film.

Blanketscapes
ブランケットスケープズ
I created random graphical patterns inspired by Navajo-style weaving and then transformed them into 3D to create abstract landscapes, resembling the textured surface of a blanket.

Paradisaeidae
極楽鳥
I set out with the basic intent to take some extremely basic feather-like shapes, and apply some computer aided duplication and randomness to generate some kind of highly abstract representation of birds-of-paradise. The end result being these swirly vortexes of colour that I've tried to present as if they were a bird spreading its feathers.

High Dense
ハイデンス
As if gazing through an inter-planetary rover's viewfinder, I envisioned a rocky, multi-colored planet's surface. This planetary inspiration drove me to delve into generating ecosystems. With multiple iterations, my focus shifted from surface landscapes to something more microscopic.

Phantoms of Surrealism
シュルレアリスムのファントムズ
With a desert backdrop reminiscent of surrealist masterpieces, I attempted to craft my own desert spectacles. Inspired by Sheila Legge's photography, I aimed to generate dreamy visions that resonate with the same motifs.

Ice Spirals
氷の螺旋
My aspiration was to immerse the viewer in enchanting spirals, akin to journeying into a storm's core. The outcome yielded chilling and somewhat ominous results—less of a jovial Christmas morning, and more of an icy maelstrom.

Memoria
メモリア
The intricate patterns and hues found in MRI and CT scans offer an interesting insight into visualizing our brain's intricate dance with emotions and biology. Here, I explored this connection attempting to bring to life the concepts: inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria, and pronuntiatio.

Lines
ラインズ
In my artistic explorations, I've discovered the fascinating visuals from layering uneven lines in 2D or 3D spaces. While some view the visual noise as unwanted, I enjoy the intricate patterns it produces at varying scales—forming rich textures and unpredictable visuals.

Rothko's Canyons
ロスコの峡谷
I wanted to capture the essence of Rothko's expansive walls of colour from a more intimate perspective. These images reflects this intention quite literally, almost as if you're experiencing his artworks nestled amidst the spaces between those big blocks of colour.

Perseid
ペルセウス
My approach was pretty straightforward: meteor showers look cool, so I just made a bunch of scenes with loads of meteors to amp up the effect.
